From Foursquare, to Gowalla, to Facebook Places, location-sharing is all the rage. And why not? It’s a fun way to trumpet your favourite bars, restaurants or clubs to your friends.
Too many updates, though, and it’ll inspire some rage as well. Like, knock it off with the Mayor of Starbucks stuff already.
So for NOW’s foray into mobile location-sharing, we developed iPhone applications both as a way to brag about your location and a tool to organize your social life.
Use NOW to find places to eat, and then spread the word about which restaurant, patio, bar or brunch spot you’re hanging out at with our Restaurant app. Post a link to the restaurant location on your Facebook or Twitter to let you friends and followers know where you are.
Then plan a night of live music with NOW’s all-new Concerts app. Find a concert nearest you using our GPS-enable Nearby button, or plan you week using our using our handy concert calendar.
Once you settle on a concert, send a link for the club or venue to anyone via email. The listing will include the list of bands playing, a map, set times and any other details someone would need to know to attend a concert.
All from your phone. All for free.
