BlackLine GPS launches location-based social network

BlackLine GPS announced its release of a free geo-social networking platform for GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphones. Dubbed Blip, the application gives users the option to share their location with others, as well as track speed and direction of other Blip users within their social circle. Consumers can spontaneously connect with their friends and family members nearby. Businesses are more efficient when they know exactly where their human resources are located.

The company says that Blip users are guaranteed complete privacy and control over who has access to their positioning data. The application is also compatible and integrates with the GPS Snitch - BlackLine's wireless vehicle security product that provides remote on-demand tracking and alert capability.

Hi everyone.

A few days ago, I was surfing the web and I found out a project that works over most mobile phones which lets you know where your friends are in real time and update your status in twitter. It�s called Dimdix.
On their website they say you don�t need a GPS system to detect your location. Does anyone know how this works?
I�m using a Motorola L7 and amazingly it detected my location.
I cannot stop thinking of all the things I could do with it.
If anyone wants to take a look you can go dimdix.com :)

Thanks,

Regards,

The Blackline GPS sounds very similar to Buddy Beacon on WHERE. I noticed that this post is old, however, I hadn't heard of the Blackline app. Does anyone have any experience with Blackline vs. other GPS social networks?
