Their app shows a map which has pins
representing your friends and how close they are to you. You can text
them, call them, or even just leave a message on the loopt service for
her. If she agrees to meet with you for lunch, you can get directions
to her location with one click. It will be FREE on the iPhone App Store
at launch. Seems neat, and mirrors apps we’ve seen already on phones
like Helio’s Ocean.

Next up is Loopt, being demoed by Sam
Altman. It’s a social networking tool with location-based services. (I
can’t see, but I think the guy is wearing two collared shirts with one
of the collars popped.)
