Loopt Wins Qualcomm’s BREW Award For Best Community/Social Networking Application
We’ve mentioned mobile social mapping service Loopt here before, will today and probably will again in the future because the service has just been awarded Qualcomm’s BREW award for the Best Community/Social Networking Application at the BREW 2008 Developer Award in San Diego. The BREW awards reward excellence in mobile entertainment based on criteria such as ease of use, originality, features, success of likelihood of success and perhaps most importantly, overall “coolness”.
Loopt is a location-based application that:
shows users where friends are located and what they are doing via detailed, interactive maps on their mobile phones. The service helps friends connect on the fly and navigate their social lives by orienting them to people, places and events. Users can also share location updates, geo-tagged photos and comments with friends in their mobile address book or on online social networks, communities and blogs. Loopt was designed with user privacy at its core and offers a variety of effective and intuitive privacy controls.
Loopt is already available with a few wireless carriers including Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel, and Boost Mobile.
