Locify not like Locle
Mike Butcher of TechCrunch UK reviews Manchester-based Locify and compares them to Dublin-based Locle.
“It reminds me slightly of the Irish Locle startup, a new mobile application that lets users see where their friends and family are without the need for GPS or mobile network operator location based services. However, Locle is much more social in that it integrates with social application platforms such as Facebook, Bebo and MySpace to bring social networking functionality to the phone. Locify is much more of a platform.”
We agree

Guardian UK thinks Location’s time has finally come
“…The spread of social networks will enable you to see where your friends from Facebook or LinkedIn are (if they give permission) and for friends and family to follow you…”
“New services include … Locle.com, which will use Loki to show where your friends are on social networks.”
