Share who you are with. From Path

As explained in a Techcrunch article :

"Unlike the limited sharing of Path, the only way to use With is to connect it to your Twitter account — in fact, they use Twitter login. Once you do that, you do one of two things: share who you are with by tagging their @names, or share a picture of who you’re with using the same tagging mechanism."

Mobile, location-based service allowing users to to discover the world around them - friends, places and events.

Loopt also has created U-Deals a "reverse deals" approach - Like Priceline, but for groups. instead of starting from an inventory of deals at local merchants, U-Deals lets users request their own deals. And they try to rally their friends and other people to support the deal as well through Facebook, Twitter, email, and whatnot. Once a deal hits a tipping point, then Loopt will contact the business and request the deal.
