    Meetro.com - Taking Socializing to a Local Level

    meetro

    Meetro is a number of things simultaneously; first off, it´s a social network with location based, geo-proximity technology; secondly, it´s a downloadable IM client that´s compatible with AOL, MSN, ICQ, and Jabber among others; finally, Meetro, because it´s outfitted with radius/proximity based technology, acts as a local directory with information about neighborhood restaurants and hangouts. Unlike other networks Meetro allows users to chat instantly with people in their area, without invites, or approval status. Members can create customized profiles, with videos, photos and blogs. The site features a number of widgets such as a Status Badge which displays your location on your blog, in an email, or a personal webpage. There´s also a weather widget which will display the weather in your area, along with Flickr photo groupings geotagged for your area. Minimeetro is a widget which you can embed on your website so that users can see who is near you when you use Meetro. Meetro has recently become universal, so it works on Macs too.

    In their own words

    “Meetro is the world"s first location-aware IM client and real-time social network -- which means Meetro allows you to meet real people in your neighborhood

    Why it might be a killer

    Meetro´s a cool tool to see who´s near you, and to meet people in your area. It´s useful for dating and making new friends, and it brings the online social scene a little bit closer.

    Some questions


    These geography based social services have the potential to bring out the stalkers and just plain creepy types; security and privacy are definitely major issues.
