Phonester is a friend-based program (much like MySpace or Friendster) for the iPhone. Users will create an account and add friends to their buddy list. Using Zonetag (http://developer.yahoo.com/yrb/zonetag/locatecell.html) or similar, users will be notified when one of their friends (or friend's friends) are within a certain proximity of them. Application will run in the background and use EDGE (Wi-Fi when available) to update their location periodically. FUTURE PLANS: Users will be able to setup alerts of "matching" people in the area. When someone gets within range and matches a certain percentage of their profile, they will get a notification. Also, would like to implement GPS coordinates with Google Maps. The notification would return the coordinates as a Google Map link and when clicking on it, would get a visual of where their friend is. |
