What do you get when you cross professional resources like LinkedIn with purely social apps like FourSqure? Unsocial is the answer. Unsocial is a location-based, business networking app. They call it Unsocial because it’s not focused on your current social network, but rather on the people you don’t know yet (but probably should.)
- Android & iPhone versions available now, BlackBerry & HTML5 coming soon
- Initially only launching in San Francisco area, more cities coming in following weeks
- App uses Geo-Location to show when other users you might want to meet are nearby
- Discovery and search based on user profile, smart tags and search terms
- Integrates with LinkedIn for simple login, helping you find people you don’t already know
- Integrated messaging between users to set up meetings or keep in touch
- Includes a discovery engine for events taking place nearby, according to geographic distance
- Offers branding and visibility to others via digital billboard and self-describing tags
- Ideal as a conference application: includes “Live” features to distribute agenda, schedules, events, meetups, Twitter feeds, RSS feeds, etc.
- Unsocial is launching with DiscoveryBeat as their official conference app
