Verizon Loopt - Social Mapping Service to Mobile Phones

Verizon Loopt - Social Mapping Service to Mobile Phones. Verizon announced social-mapping service Loopt. With Loopt, Verizon Wireless customers can leverage their phones' location-based services capabilities to share location information, status messages and geo-tagged photos with their community of friends.

Loopt users can view where friends in their private network are located via a map displayed on their mobile phones and connect and share their locations with anyone in their address books or AIM buddy lists.

Detailed Loopt maps that show Verizon Wireless users where friends are, what they are doing, and how to meet up with them, transform their Verizon Wireless phones into active social tools to connect, share and explore the real world.

Loopt will be available for $3.99 monthly access and starting from the beginning of April. More than 20 Get It Now phones are supported, including LG Chocolate and MOTORIZR Z6tv. Unlimited data plan is the best way to go, but it's not required
