We are very much familiar with Foursquare and Loopt. The location-based apps are all the rage in the market. Here is one such location-based service, which is known as Centrl. The ground-breaking company has moved one step ahead to break the barrier persistent between mobile phone users and the web.
The company is providing location based services on popular handheld devices such as iPhone, Android, BlackBerry (JAD file) and Nokia. The company has now geared up to launch its new web application. The service is available among popular social networks. It allows users to sign in from their existing accounts on MySpace, Facebook, iGoogle, Friendster, Hi5, Orkut and more, through any platform or device.
The latest web app extends the identical functionality just like its mobile version. Just in the vein of its mobile version, the web app shows users location to their friends.
It helps them determine coupons, restaurants, bars, gas stations, general (PoI) points of interest, real estate. It also keeps the users informed about the nearest events by gathering info from Yelp, Citysearch, Wikipedia and other sites.
The web app is compatible with Centrl’s social network versions and mobile phone apps. The web app customers can also share content to their friends, families and relatives by marking a place on a map, uploading a picture, adding a comment and posting a link to Twitter. Centrl sets a profile page based on that information for other mobile or web app users. It is done automatically.
The web app also helps real-time location-based communication. The ground-breaking messaging system ensures users to access Centrl on a PC to view the location of people accessing the mobile apps and instantly initiate text-chatting.
This unique mode of interaction will take networking and communication to new levels. You can very easily find out the determined position with the help of this device.
