Mingle Monitors Areas Of Online Social Activity For You In San Francisco And New York
July 20, 2011
Looking for hot spots in the Big Apple or The City by the Bay? As you probably know, cab drivers are not much of a resource. Now, get with the times and try Mingle, a real-time social-network analysis tool for iOS that will tell you about the areas of your city with the most activity at the moment.
Only available for New York City and San Francisco at the moment, Mingle seems to be doing some smart Twitter geo-aware data mining to find the areas of intense activity around the two cities. Even better, smart filters allow you to sort out whether you're looking for males or females as well as locals or tourists. Then, you can jump into the activity and see the tweets coming out of your selected destination. Last, but not least, the app also records data over time to tell you what is the best time to go to a particular area. It sounds like a dream come true, if not for the limited coverage of the service.
Best of all, the app is universal, that is available for both the iPhone and iPad, totally free of charge for New York City, and San Francisco.
