Swarm

Don’t you hate when you actually have to ask your friends what they’re up to, rather than just being able to find that information? Yea, me neither, but Foursquare seems to think we need a new way to take care of that and that’s why they’ve come up with the new app, Swarm.

According to Foursquare’s blog , “We built Swarm because you’ve told us how often you still have to text your friends: “where are you?” and “what are you up to later?” We wanted to build a quick way for you to know these two things for all of your friends. With Swarm, you can easily see which of your friends are out nearby, figure out who is up for grabbing a drink later, and share what you’re up to (faster and more easily than you can in Foursquare today).”

Swarm isn’t intended for just social applications, but should also be considered for it’s business possibilities.  Think last minute meetings with customers, clients and business associates.  This app may change our mindsets back from online networking, to face-to-face networking.

If this is something that interests you, you can download the Swarm app for iPhone or Android and start stalking keeping up with your friends and colleagues.
