Two of us launched Pairwise.mobi aboard the Startup Bus from SF to Austin, a fully functional mobile app that facilitates location business networking. We're getting SxSWers to play with the prototype at <a href="http://pairwise.mobi" rel="nofollow">http://pairwise.mobi</a>, and have been getting great comments all around. In short, it lets you broadcast a business need and pushes a notification to the best people in your immediate vicinity that might meet that need (customer, hire, blogger, developer), and you guys can arrange for a quick chat.

I have only used it at a few places, and the owners of the restaurants that I visit on a regular basis mostly do not know about these services. Having Facebook take over the entire location based network could be good, because then you know where everyone is. At the same time, I like the fact that people who are on Foursquare chose to participate in the social networking on the site, versus Facebook maybe deciding here are all your friends option.

Been using Gowalla for some time and these features are awesome add's but some of the simplicity and design polish to the app has diminished. I look at the newly released apps on WebOS and Android and these app's look great. Just hoping "Feature Creep" doesn't make the experience less fun. great video Robert.

But perhaps it's because you're not actually doing much of anything with other people on a regular basis.
