Looks like it's available on Google Play now but not yet in the iOS App Store (although here's a link to its Testflight). Facebook Local might be my favorite app for event discovery. Shoelace is taking a different approach but something I could see using once they're in my city.

@rrhoover thank you for the TestFlight link!! Once I installed it, it’s asking for a code though saying that it’s limited to specific users who were invited:((.

@rrhoover seems local is the new normal for social apps, doesn't it?

@rrhoover Looks just like my app Beekn. And countless others... So many people have tried and failed in this space. Including myself 😔

they just following suit like the major TV networks - keep on cancelling the REAL good shows - we definitely are losing loyalty -endurance- lasting relationships with everything cause nothing lasts long enough anymore AND we know by now its all just temporarily so WHY should we pour our hearts and lives into supporting apps/shows/etc anymore! A dog owner app would be great - Anybody out there want to design it? My vote goes to 1-2 years max!

I would never invest on anything Google. Their track of cancelling/closing down projects and using everybody as their guinea pigs has left a really bad taste in my mouth...

@ejameswill I give it a year... it will get 3 months of "curiosity use" and then die a slow death for the next 9 months...

@ejameswill Hard to say. If it gets a national release with advertisers paying to be listed as good places/products/etc for local events &/or activities it'll be around for a few years. If not, they'll pick out the "good parts" & try again within a year.

@ejameswill So Steve Stevens, the Facebook killer, I'm pretty sure H1-B guys sicced him after me because I was cutting in on their market. This is obviously a hook up app for Bohemians. What protections do Sergey and Larry have in mind to prevent communicable disease? Or crime? There are serial murderers active. A bunch of Epsteins and Chapos, their commie decadent friends. I bet they are just licking their chops at this. Sergey, Larry, Zuck, Gates, Ellison, they're all Marxists, right? So who cares if a hundred thousands of Americans die of bird flu, or even something worst. All that matters is VP CCP Xi is happy. And we should eat your LIBRA garbage as you attack the dollar with a big BAN BOSSY smile on our face, huh Ms. Sandberg? MONEY. OR PRISON.

This is actually interesting. I feel google is doing a better job at social products' rollout recently...city wise, iterating based on feedback. Neighborly was launched in Mumbai, India recently; and this is available in NYC only.
