Today, Skimble has launched a free, companion iPhone app to help track sports activities and monitor your athletic progress on the go. You can download the app here. Skimble’s online and mobile tools let you discover activities, by giving you information on popular outdoor active trips, i.e. a hiking trip to Lake Tahoe; and gym workouts, i.e. indoor rock climbing. You can join one of these trips or you can create your own. When you create a trip, you can create a feed of news and updates about the trip and share the page with other friends. Skimble’s app taps into the iPhone GPS to allow users to set your workout and activity trip location and share geotagged “action shots.”

MessageParty = Chat Room + Geolocation + iPhone. MessageParty, an early-stage YCombinator-funded startup, takes the classic concept of a chat room and adds a geosocial twist by making any chat room location-aware. The app, which launched in the iTunes App store earlier this week, is very straightforward. Users can create public "parties" through the app that work just like group IM conversations.

What sets MessageParty apart is that it makes these chat rooms location-aware. Instead of joining a random chat room where users can be anywhere from Brazil to your neighborhood, MessageParty focuses on detecting just nearby chats that you can join. Essentially, MessageParty is a location-based chat room client. MessageParty is currently an app with bare-bones functionality; it doesn't have direct messaging, private chats or profiles.

Would you use an app like MessageParty at a bar or a conference?
