ABOUT US
Loopt is a mobile social mapping application. Using cell phones and mobile devices, it displays the locations of a users friends along with their presence status (available, away, etc) visually on maps or on lists. Based on GPS and related data, users can request alerts when friends are within a certain distance, send messages to groups of friends in particular area, and be able to tag and blog physical locations in a way thats accessible to friends through Loopt. Users can also take pictures from their cell phones and tag them; these pictures will be available to friends and others on the Loopt network.
As of October 2008, Loopt is available on Sprint Nextel, Verizon, Boost Mobile, metroPCS, ATT iPhone, and many BlackBerry devices, but the company is also speaking with other mobile carriers.
Similar companies, if not necessarily competitors, include Jaiku and Dodgeball.
