Hinweis der Redaktion
Please find below the list of competitors and how we differentiate:1. Twitter local search - This shows what people around are talking about but not necessarily what they want to do. By focusing the communication towards what people want to do, the potential interactions arising out of such communications in the real world can be meaningful, as compared to microblogging.2. Google nearby stream & Myyearbook - Same as above3. Facebook wants - They are introducing a "Want" button which is what people want to buy. This is for ecommerce, whereas our wants is for socialization and doing things together. However, educating the consumers on this aspect will be challenging4. Meetup - This is meant for special interest groups and group networking, with pre-scheduled meetings. Our app enables instant socialization to solve immediate needs, like finding a guitar tutor, for example.5. Citysocializing - They are quite similar to what we do - enable new connections through organized meetups by members by paying subscription fee. Again, our app sets up instant communications, around people's wants, and is free.On top of all that, none of these players enable people play games with their neighbours, which will be our major differentiator. We aim to create simple addictive games that people can play with people around them through bluetooth or over internet. We create meaningful and fun social experiences in a simple way, which will differentiate us from the existing players.
