Helping people hook up at Coffee shops
The duo recently launched the application, iFob, which seeks a niche in the social networking world. It sends out a "homing beacon" at wireless hotspots, alerting other users that you're nearby and receptive to socializing. Someone might broadcast a single line, "I love snowboarding" and see if anyone replies. Eventually, the messaging could lead to a conversation. The software also allows people to just "listen" at a hotspot.
Wouldn't it just make more sense to actually be playing WoW? I think this is, at best, a good idea for the wrong target and, at worst, a really stupid idea. But, then again, I thought Twitter was a bad idea too.
Personally, I'd rather wear a t-shirt saying "I'm open to socializing."

Can the beacon say "I'm the geek in the plad shirt sitting alone in the corner, please come talk to me about World Of Warcraft?"
