Excerpt from the website : “… What is it? dodgeball.com is a new social networking site built specifically for mobile phones. What does it do? Give me an example. The idea is simple: tell us where you are and we’ll tell you who and what is around you.We’ll ping your friends with your whereabouts, let you know when friends-of-friends are within 10 blocks, allow you to broadcast content to anyone within 10 blocks of you or blast messages to your groups of friends.For example, you’re having drinks at Ace Bar. Send a text message to 36343 (“dodge”) with the message “@Ace Bar” and we’ll send out a text message telling all your friends where you are AND send you back a message letting you know if any friends-of-friends are within 10 blocks. If you have a camera phone, we’ll even send you their picture. How is this different from other social networking sites? UPDATE: To be shut down Excerpt from the website : “… Hey guys, as some of you have probably already read, Google has decided to shut down dodgeball. I know this is kind of a bummer, but the site has been in maintenance mode for a while now, and it’s just time to shut it down for good. …”

Excerpt from the website : “… Limbo is one the world’s largest, fastest growing mobile social networks where people share the places they go and the things they do. In Limbo, members broadcast their location, locate bars, clubs or restaurants, and coordinate their friends with group text. All tools and services are free to members thanks to the support of interactive, highly targeted, location-based mobile advertisements. Limbo is freeing social networkers from computer-dependence with a network that goes where you go – to a party, class, a restaurant or concert. Limbo lets you share the things you’re doing right from your phone, so friends can connect on the go and no one misses their chance to join in. Members can search for friends by what they’re doing, degree of friendship, or distance away, and can find points of interest nearby. Maps make it easy to see exactly where someone is, and activities make it possible to search for people doing what you want to do too. Limbo works for every mobile phone user, regardless of phone type or carrier…..”

Locaccino also allows you to specify where you can be located. Using a Google maps interface, you can define regions where you do and don’t want other people to be able to find you.
Locaccino Location Sensing

Excerpt from the website : “… Outdoor enthusiasts want to share, socialize, and gain recognition for their adventurous deeds. And to make new friends for future adventures. That was difficult before this social network was developed. There are hundreds of travel sites set up to sell travel. And there are hundreds of social networks set up to support idle chatter. But there’s only one site that enables outdoor adventurers to both share their trips with current friends and to meet new friends. That site is MyAdventures.com. The inspiration for this site stems from my lifetime of adventure and world travel and all the wonderful people I have met from the Australian Aborigines to the Kalahari Bushmen and the polar-living Inuits to my fellow members in The Adventurers Club of Chicago, The Adventurers Club of Los Angeles and The Explorers Club of New York. The motto of The Adventurers Club of Chicago fits MyAdventures.com quite well—“to provide a hearth and home for those who have left the beaten path and made for adventure”. Helen Keller’s comment sums it all up “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing”. If you feel the same way you’re an adventurer… and I hope you’ll join this site.

We can also notify you about the things that interest you so you never walk past something cool again!
You will never get spam because you control exactly what we send you!…”

Final notes – Location Based Social Networks – THE LIST
Last modified on 2008-12-26 16:57:17 GMT. 18 comments. Top.
So as I mentioned in my original post regarding Location Based Social Networks, the general impression I had after putting all of them together in one page is that many of the LBSN are “me too” applications, and at this point I can’t pinpoint one that present a marketing message with a unique offer, a distinctive value proposition or main differentiators from the others. I included standalone sites, and applications that complement as add-on Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Flicker, YouTube, etc.
The directory is provided as “info only” without recommendations or endorsements. I’ll appreciate though, if you can review the list, and leave your comments.
PLEASE share / digg / quote / and ping back!
