27 July 2011: Designed to help people be more social offline, Forecast, a mobile application, adds a new dimension to location check-ins. The app works by telling your friends where you are going to be and creates flexibility for casual invitations to your friends to come join you later. The company’s goal is to create more serendipitous connections in the real world.
A popular use of Forecast is to distribute a small blast email to friends and let them know where you plan to be in an hour. Since the app is mobile, it’s always on and in your pocket, making it easy to arrange plans around it. The creator of Forecast, Rene Pinnell, says users are doubling every week. He hopes to release a Forecast API that will enable developers to share code and create an ecosystem around the service.
