MessageParty. YC-Funded MessageParty Ties Location With Chat Rooms. With the rise of GPS-enabled smartphones, developers are eager to integrate location-based functionality into whatever they can.
So it’s no surprise when MessageParty, a Y Combinator company that’s launching this week, says that it’s looking to tie location with chat rooms to let you communicate with the people around you in real-time. You can download the company’s iPhone app right here. The app is very straightforward. Open it, and you’ll see a list of chat rooms that have been created within 1000 feet of you. Once you hop into a room, it’s a pretty standard chat channel. Jibblar. Welcome.
