FreeSonar - Mobile GeoSocial Networking
We are currently creating a free software mobile geo-social networking application that will allow people to freely communicate, travel and cooperate in real time and near proximity.
In practice, using their mobile phones or desktop PCs, users will be able to do the following:
- socialize with people in their near proximity. Find each other by location, interest keyword or other criteria and safely communicate. The Sonar provides free and secure social networking/microblogging/geo-locating tools via its own free web services or wherever it is possible via decentrilzed and federated web services.
- self-organize activity or an event. Users can publish real-time information about their current activity in their current location, initiate new activities, organize events or look for real-time events happening around them, or publish a demand for a specific type of event in a given area.
- ride sharing. If a user is driving somewhere with his personal car and is willing to share available free seats, the Sonar can assist in real time to find other people going in the same direction and offer to share the ride (and the other way around - to assist hitch-hikers to find a ride).
- travel sharing. Users can finding travellers in their neighborhood, share their ongoing or future travel plans, organize or join to a trip and later share the experiences.
- couch sharing. Users who have available living space for a short time stay can offer their "couch" to travelers. Travelers can search for places available to stay around them (sharing here is not for money like in guest houses but motivated by cultural exchange. e.g. http://www.couchsurfing.org).
