Loopt is a popular social-mapping app that allows you to “discover” the world around you on your mobile phone. What started as a popular feature for meeting new people nearby has now grown into its own app – Loopt Mix apparently “introduces you to the people you wish you knew.” Crumbs!
Loopt Mix is a simple and fun way to interact with nearby people who share your interests. You see a list of people, profiles/interests, their latest status, ranked by their approximate distance to you.
With the new Loopt Mix, you can:
- Browse profiles of interesting people near you.
- Real-time, in-app chat with push notifications.
- Post multiple photos and status updates to introduce yourself.
- Free messaging with people around the country on Loopt Mix!
- Use likes / tags and search filters to connect in the real world.
Loopt Mix helps you start meeting others right away and is ideal for those looking for new friends to go to events or other activities, joining local sports or groups, getting to know someone over coffee, new to town, and almost anything else you can imagine. Everything starts with creating a profile on Loopt Mix to start meeting the people you wish you knew.
US readers, you can get the App from the iTunes/App Store, by searching for “Loopt Mix”- it’s free, so you only need create a profile to make use of it.

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
