About BuddyPing

BuddyPing was the first mobile social utility available in the UK

single device and single application whilst on the move to communicate
with not only their local friends but also inform friends online about
their location, and current status.

BuddyPing combines the powerful attributes of a mobile with the
ability to organise and enable an individual to interact with their
friends in both the phone address book and online social networks such
as Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and Twittr. By aggregating all of these
online networks, BuddyPing allows an individual to organise their
friends and contacts into different groups and to make their location,
a status message or multimedia content available to any of their
friends.

BuddyPing is an intelligent bridge between a person's "virtual"
and "real" social networks utilising their mobile phone. BuddyPing
uses location information to enhance the customer experience.
BuddyPing using, LBS lookups, GPS, WPS (with Skyhook), or simply a

be accessed via either a WAP (web internet) session, via a java
application, or symbian client both of which can be downloaded onto

About Locle

Locle, based in Dublin, Ireland, is a social mapping application
for mobile phones that combines information from your mobile handset
address book with social networks such as Bebo, Facebook and MySpace
to create mapping services that show users where their friends are.
Locle enhances the mobile web experience with "here's where I am, and
here's where my friends are".

The Locle application is a combination of a web service and
downloadable mobile phone software. When the Locle mobile client is
activated, it identifies the user's location and presents the location
of "friends" who also use the application -- even if they do not have
GPS on their phone. Friends can be both contacts from your mobile
phone address book or contacts from your social networks. As well as
keeping track of friends and family, Locle can keep you up to date on
relevant information to your location such as local events, news,
weather and provide details on local restaurants, cinemas and ATM
machines etc.
