inTooch Teamed Up With MobileLoco: Users Can Exchange Data On The Fly

inTooch, a mobile application that supports both Android and iPhone, easily and seamlessly allows you to
instantly exchange contact and social network information on the fly.
inTooch teamed up with San Francisco-based Mobile-Loco this past week, an event that explores the convergence of brands, advertising and
mobile.
Attendees were encouraged to download the free
mobile app, so they could quickly exchange all their contact information or a portion of it with new
people they met at the event, including their social media network data.
Whenever you meet
someone you want to stay in touch with, you simply call the person, the app
detects that you have called them for the first time and prompts you
automatically to exchange your contact information, giving you the option to
exchange your Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn details as well.
Since geo-tagging is built in,
the inTooch app tracks where connection requests are made and will link all
connection requests to the location, in this case the Mobile-Loco event in San
Francisco, CA. When users browse through their connections, they can see all the connections they made at Mobile-Loco. After the event, inTooch will also send an email to each user
who sent a connection request during Mobile-Loco with the list of all the
contacts they met at the event, resulting in a more efficient way to follow up
and turn contacts into relationships that matter.
A useful augmented
reality feature, which is popular for personal encounters, is a report that
informs you of all the things you have in common with that person
(friends, places you visited, music, movies you like, social network info,
check-ins, interests you share).
Unlike most apps, inTooch works regardless of
whether the person you just met has it on his or her cell phone, making it the most natural, straight forward and easy
way to share your personal or business details. inTooch is
available for download at http://www.intooch.com
and is free for users. Currently, inTooch works with both the Android and the
iPhone, with support for other platforms and mobile devices coming later this
year.
