Night Out App Idea
Had this idea for an app a little while back, thought I would share it. I want to be able to share where I’m going to be with my friends. Foursquare is great for telling friends where i am now, but by the time my friends actually see it I’m most of the time already gone. I’m constantly texting friends on a Friday night asking them what their plans are and if they want to hang out. It would be nice if I could open up an app and see where all my friends are gonna be, when they are gonna be there, and how long they are gonna be there for. Then I could just tap a button that would notify them that I’m joining them. Once I arrive at the destination my friend is automatically notified that I am here. The logic behind sharing where you are gonna be is that in doing so you are saying, “I’ll be here, you are welcome to join me”. Obviously you could set who could see the post since sometimes you only want to hangout with certain people. I think this would eliminate the countless txts sent back and forth trying to figure out what my friend’s plans are. Arrived sort of does this but I think it falls a bit short. Perhaps soon I will write a post about these shortcomings and some possible solutions.
Anyway, just an idea I had.
