A tip from Pete Rojas in an Engadget visits NYU's ITPSpring Show post yesterday:
Next up is Socialight, which we'd describe as an amped up version of Dodgeball (which is itself sort of a mobile version of Friendster). It involves signing up for yet another of those friend of a friend social network websites, but if you have a phone that can run the Socialight software and that supports location-based services (right now only the Nokia 6600 fits the bill) you can see if your friends (and your friends' friends) are in the area or leave messages for your pals around town that they'll only pick up when they actually pass through that specific location.
On the socialight sitetake your social life everywherethis service is described as: a number ofsubtle and overt tools which enable unique modes of real-time and time-shifted communication.
Socialight includes great features such as:
Tap & Tickle (A Tap is a brief vibration that a socialightuser may send to a friend. A Tickle is a vibration sent with a variable length determined by the socialight usersending the Tickle), and
Sticky Shadows (A Sticky Shadow can be a picture, a piece oftext, a snippet of audio, a video clip, or a combination of these types of media, left for another user in a specificphysical location. Users may choose the location, lifetime, and content of the Sticky Shadows they leave for theirfriends).
