This application was built for, www.rendezblue.com. RendezBlu site is a proximity social network based on contacts, which one gathers via phone’s Bluetooth feature and later upload to rendezblu.com. The phone application allows people to literally connect via Bluetooth and gather contacts automatically behind the scenes, while they go about doing normal activities. RendezBlu will exchange contacts based on the preferences selected on users’ phone. Unlike other social networks which can build artificial links, RendezBlu only connects people who came in close proximity to user, within range of about 30 feet or 10 meters, and who also had the application running on their phone.
Users’ network will therefore only include people who were physically near them at the same place, at the same time, and who were also willing to meet other people. Since user shared that proximity, chances is user also share some common tastes or interests. In contrast to other sites,
RendezBlu will allow users to build a network of exciting contacts with truly great meeting potential.
