iPling Inc. is a San Francisco company founded in January 2007 that produced the first real-time, location-based mobile social networking service for the iPhone. Available in both the US and selected European countries, the iPling product provides social networking with a difference: instead of connecting users to people they already know, iPling empowers them to reach out immediately to people nearby who share interests and affinities. . Named one of the “Top 25 Web Apps for iPhone,” iPling is easy to use with no complicated forms to fill out, no invitations or friend lists, and no download required. Registering and creating a profile takes only a minute or two. Users describe themselves with tags, then view a map showing others nearby whose tags match--for instance, babysitter, Giants fan, Green Day, New Yorker, Norwegian. Users can then “pling” interesting matches via iPling’s anonymous SMS chat feature. iPling facilitates spontaneous social interactions. Most people want to meet and be met by the right people at the right time. Much as Google provides links to previously undiscovered information across the worldwide web, iPling’s technology creates what the company calls social telepathy--instant connections between people with something in common. iPling's Founders and Vision Based in San Francisco, iPling was launched in January 2007 by a group of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs with a track record of innovation at leading companies.
