App to Locate Friends at LS2012
Tags: Lotusphere
Kudos to Mats Jansson of Donova.se for building a really useful iPhone and iPad app to locate and connect with friends at Lotusphere 2012.
It is useful to find one friend among the 10,000 delegates. The friend could be right around the corner and you can see them and stop and talk with them.
To use it, all you need to do is register your name, email, company and country. You can then make and receive friend requests. There are three options to show limited numbers of people. My Friends shows a single friend at a time. My Company shows all people in your company. My Country shows all people from a single Country (all Swedish people, for example).
A small problem is that you cannot see only your friends, so you could see the 50 people you interact with most often (Mats Jansson says this can be changed, but Apple takes 10 days to approve changes, which will miss Lotusphere).
Here is a map of the United States with locations, showing the initial installation of the app:
Mats is working on an Android version as I write this, and I will post and tweet the location to download that version as it becomes available.
You can find it on the Apple app store:
