Proximate Global has launched face2face, a mobile application that enables users to securely consolidate their existing social and professional networks, including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and MySpace on a single platform.
According to Proximate Global, face2face enables users to know who is nearby without ever requiring that their or their friends’ exact locations be revealed; ensures their privacy and security; and enables users to access online networks to create ‘face2face’ meetings and experiences.
The company said that users can access and control which friends and contacts know when they are in each other’s vicinities. With its easy privacy control, users can make themselves available to some friends, and not to others, on an individual basis.
Hameed Khan, founder and CEO of Proximate Global, said: "With face2face, you are automatically and securely connected to your friends and business contacts. Users aren’t telling the whole world where they are, but rather enhancing when and how they connect with those in their extended network."
In addition, face2face also helps users to establish new connections and relationships with a powerful cross-network ‘friends of friends’ feature that allows users to meet new people in a safe and secure manner.
The company said that users can simply download the free app on their smartphone, face2face works on iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and many J2ME compatible devices and their networks are immediately aggregated, thus allowing user-controlled, privacy-centric, proximity-based connections.
