Latest Blog Entry :: Get Rally!
Posted Saturday January 23, 2010 by JeffLyon --
Rally is probably the coolest iPhone app EVER, and a great startup that we're proud to be a part of. It's a location-based service that's all about staying in touch with your real friends, seeing where people are, and what they're up to. And by real friends, we mean people who are really your friends—the idea is to cut out the noise and focus on people you actually hang out with.
Every other location-based service falls into the same trap that Facebook and Twitter do. Namely, your basic human nature is to want as many friends as possible, so you add anyone and everyone to your friends list, even if you barely (or don't) know them. But when you throw location into the mix and these people can see exactly where you are whenever you check in, it's creepy.
Rally is currently in limited release in the iPhone App Store for the Santa Cruz area. We're focusing on responding to user feedback and bringing out some features to help you cut out the noise and focus on your real friends. Check it out, and be sure to read all about us in the Santa Cruz Good Times!
