The next big thing - this is better than MySpace - GoFuckYourself.com

Shoehorn! · 06-21-2005, 09:46 AM

This is one of my friends new ventures, it's an instant messenger that uses location to find people near you. The Chicago Sun Times just did an article on it yesterday and interviewed my friend Paul, check it out and download it. It kicks ass.

LittleSassy · 06-21-2005, 09:48 AM

pretty cool....

Dax · 06-21-2005, 09:52 AM

Gay ass name... but interesting idea..

wallst · 06-21-2005, 09:54 AM

outstanding idea. to be honest, that kind of stuff scares the shit out of me. GPS in the wrong hands can be dangerous. something about the ability to be able to find a persons exact location at any time is very frightening indeed.

Shoehorn! · 06-21-2005, 09:54 AM

By the way, the url to the site is www.meetro.com.

Harmon · 06-21-2005, 09:55 AM

I just downloaded it`... no confirmation email to get the thing going and no where to have it resent. Tell your buddy to fix his shit

FilthyRob · 06-21-2005, 09:55 AM

kick ass!

"larger services like gmail, hotmail sometimes are slow with getting our mail"

You should have it before too long I would imagine.

Nismo · 06-21-2005, 10:17 AM

Thats a badass idea. Downloading now.

Nismo · 06-21-2005, 10:18 AM

If you used a free service like gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc., be patient.

They've had apps like that in Japan for awhile via bluetooth phones.

I hate our mobile phone networks in the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul makes games for mobile phones, so expect a Meetro for mobile phones before too long in this country.

Nismo · 06-21-2005, 10:25 AM

This dude is going to make a fortune.

tranza · 06-21-2005, 10:27 AM

Cool idea...

Nismo · 06-21-2005, 10:50 AM

After further inspection, this is a little weird.

vicki · 06-21-2005, 11:11 AM

Well, since it's new, theres just a few people on it. And, those people are talking to me like im their new best friend.

Other than that, this is a pretty cool piece of software.

tony_xtv · 06-21-2005, 11:23 AM

wow . . . thats pretty sweet

Kenny B! · 06-21-2005, 11:27 AM

Not sure, I'll ask him. I know they're working on the search feature and I told him to add one of those things like on ICQ where you know when the other person is typing.

beemk · 06-21-2005, 12:10 PM

im on there, thats an awesome idea, we'll see if he can market it right though.

Jace · 06-21-2005, 12:27 PM

tell him to get involved with trillian, would love to have that as an option in trillian

WiredGuy · 06-21-2005, 12:32 PM

Cool idea, seems like a great candidate for acquisition by a major social network.

Jace · 06-21-2005, 12:34 PM

oh well

lopez · 06-21-2005, 12:34 PM

Just sent him that.

Juilan · 06-21-2005, 12:58 PM

Double the Trillian integration suggestion and add a proximity indicator so if your in a hotspot or airport you can find someone really close to you.

The mileage thing works with wifi, say you're at a Starbucks in L.A., and someone is in the Starbucks across the street, it'll say how far away you are. At least when he explained it to me thats what I gathered.

beemk · 06-22-2005, 01:01 AM

i think its cool to use but kinda lame for at the airport and stuff. i mean if they're that close to you why not just walk through the airport and you will see them.

BRISK · 06-22-2005, 02:58 AM

What happens if you're not using a WIFI hotspot?

a1ka1ine · 06-22-2005, 04:20 AM

just signed up! although i have never used a wifi hotspot, there arent too many here

xclusive · 06-22-2005, 04:29 AM

very interesting concept

it still shows "random people" which is only around 20 people that are online with the program at a time. they have a part where you fill in a zip code and stuff. they should have it locate people close to your zip code or address you fill out if you arent connected to wifi.
