http://www.nixle.com

They are way ahead of the curve. They are offering social networking hyper-locally, on the web and on mobile phones.

Nixle offers social networking on a secure, authenticated platform. Anyone, even your mom, can create a fake Twitter account. Nixle is identity-certified through NLETS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLETS), the most secure communication service around.

Nixle allows public safety agencies to communicate directly with local residents over cell phone, email, and the web. The information is delivered in real time to geographically targeted consumers.

Try it, it’s free.

The only thing stopping us from integrating location awareness, sadly, is that sales at Skyhook does not respond to falls or Email.

Given that we are the second largest Yellow Pages player in Germany, this is rather strange.

@Kate: this is a last-ditch effort. Please prove me wrong by having a sales rep call me at +49 201 80990

It’s great to see that some mobile developers are having success. I have often wondered if app developers were making money. I know I’ve only paid for few of the more popular apps like NeuroMobile and few others. Most of the apps on my phone were free.
