11870.com and GeoMe

by irenet - April 1, 2009

GeoMe is a location based social network and mobile phone application that allows users to leave messages ‘on the map’. As Ric Ferraro, Managing Director of the company puts it: “the basic idea is to allow a community to leave virtual post-it’s in several places of the city through their mobile phones”.

Besides its essential use as a way for friends to communicate, GeoMe also displays a series of services (bars, hotels, restaurants, shops…) near a user’s location at any given time. And this is where 11870.com comes in, thanks to our API, our site is an important source of the information provided to GeoMe‘s community.

Apart from seeing a each service on the map, users can read an 11870.com review of it. “We liked the quality of the information of 11870.com, and the type of reviews by this community fit our model very well”, says Ferraro about choosing 11870.com as a source.

The company has recently released an optimized version of their application for Ericsson phones, but in the near future will work with other platforms. What else is up? “We’re experimenting with new concepts, even integrating location-based games, to constantly be offering something new to our community”.

We’d like to take this opportunity to welcome GeoMe and wish them the best of luck!
