Call it a repetition and giving too much attention to Face2Face, but it definitely deserves it. Proximate Global, the firm that rolled this out with the geniuses of Umair Aziz and Hameed Khan is definitely getting press, one it rightly deserves. Surprisingly people back home in Pakistan need to understand how essential it is and give due credit. Perhaps not many are aware of its existence, are these bloggers even reading other technology blogs out there mentioning it?
First and foremost we at Startup Meme ensured it was written about the day it released at the impressive press event organized in June, then came articles from VentureBeat and Mashable; which to no surprise called it a genius idea. I understand I am getting over the edge here and this is definitely not the last mobile app of its kind, but proximity based socializing has been put forth first by my own countrymen [correct me if I am wrong]. I am just waiting to read more opinions from the locals here and get their feedback, all so to mention it right here on our blog.
We are looking forward to have some sort of an event where the blogger community can interact with the brains behind Face2Face. This is would be far more exciting as more questions would be put forward, those that will be more to do with the technical complexities and how exactly is Face2Face ensuring absolute privacy. I have tried it out on my Nokia, was impressed, though I seriously detest using apps for social networking on my mobile devices, but this one is addictive, with all the options to connect via multiple social profiles you have. So if you are on Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn or Facebook, make sure you are connected to friends, friends of friends and indirectly the entire social community via Face2Face, you might bump into someone special and important [if you are lucky enough].
Istn’t this service a little bit like aka-aki.com? The concept is over one year old now and featured at the webby awards last year.
