Schmap’s GeoTweeter iPhone App Tweets Your Location, Shows Your Followers The Way

Wed, Feb 18th, 2009

Schmap, Inc., creators of the iPhone-friendly Schmap city guides and Schmap.me mobile mapping sharing service, further expanded their iPhone offerings this morning with the launch of their new "GeoTweeter" iPhone application. GeoTweeter plays on the common practice of using Twitter to inform your followers of your current location, with one neat little twist: it shows them how to get there.

Think about it - how often do you see folks using Twitter to invite their friends out en masse? Generally, it’s something like "I’m at McBlahdigan’s Pub! Come join!". But which McBlahdigans’s do they mean ? The one on First St., or that shady one over on.. wait, where’s that other one again? Now you’re tearing through Google Maps looking for a pub, writing down the address, calling your friend to make sure you’re headed to the right place - it’s all very archaic.
