FACEBOOK App: ContactsNearby

Contacts Nearby (from InSTEDD)

The Contacts Nearby application allows users to discover geographic locations of other people in their extended social network. Social networks or “friend graphs” are increasingly popular on the internet because they enable applications to learn of trust relationship between users. Combine this information with the geographical location of each user and you get a valuable tool in possible emergency situations.

Imagine being on site at an emergency situation. You might have the best aid workers or medical staff within a hand's reach. The Contacts Nearby application lets you see if you have contacts in common and allows you to ask for referrals from mutual contacts. This information can accelerate finding useful contacts in your area and building trust with them.
