This frightens me.
Dodgeball.com
Q: What is it?
A: dodgeball.com is a social networking site built specifically for mobile phones.
Q: What does it do?
A: The idea is simple: tell us where you are and we'll tell you who and what is around you. We'll ping your friends with your whereabouts, let you know when friends-of-friends are within 10 blocks or alert you if any of your crushes are nearby.
Q: Give me an example.
A: Okay, so you're having drinks at Luna Lounge. Send us a text message telling us where you are and we'll fire off a text message to all your friends telling them where they can find you. If we find any friends-of-friends within 10 blocks, we'll ping you with their whereabouts too. If you have a camera phone, we'll even send you their picture.
Q: How do I use it?
A: Whenever you're out, use your mobile phone to send a text message to "nyc@dodgeball.com" with a "@" and then the name of the bar, restaurant or park you're at. e.g. @Luna Lounge, @Bowery Bar. When we get your text message, we'll check to see if there's anyone you know nearby.
Q: So, how do you know who my friends are?
A: You need to tell us who your friends are, just like you did with those other social networking sites.
Q: So how is this different than those other social networking sites?
A: dodgeball.com is designed to help you meet up with friends and friends-of-friends while you're out, not while you're sitting at home in front of your computer. Try "checking-in" the next time you meet up with friends for drinks and see who you end up meeting up with.
Q: Sounds cool. Where do I sign up?
A: Head on over to
http://www.dodgeball.comQ: Then what?
A: Sign up, tell us who you're friends are, invite the rest of your friends, and then start using your phone to tell us where you are. That's it!
