face2face is a location-aware smartphone app that solves the problems of privacy and safety that have become synonymous with social networking – so that more people can benefit from the advantages that come from knowing which friends are nearby.
Face2Face uses general proximity – never precise location – it keeps users connected but private, sharing information between friends who are near each other and no one else.
By using proximity instead of precise location, by withholding information from people unwilling to share their own, face2face protects its uers while connecting them. It’s the first step toward a broader vision of a private, yet socially active lifestyle.
