We would like to note for your reader’s benefit that zhiing is not a social network. You do need the software to integrate your location, a map and the address book in a way that makes zhiing work great on your blackberry or iPhone, but it is not essential.

We are hoping that LBS functionality that allows people to send directions to their location from their mobile device to the mobile device of any friend will make all the difference in adoption.

We are not alone in the functionality of mapping directions from person to person on mobile devices. Loopt and others do the same. What makes us different is that we work with all of your friends, on all devices, on all mobile service networks. The others only allow you to work within the walled garden of their social network or from smart phone to smart phone.

Again, we appreciate the comments. Additionally, we have provisioned more servers to handle more simultaneous visitors to our website. We did not adequately forecast the number of unique visitors per hour that are visiting http://zhiing.com and our blog at http://www.zhiing.com/blog

Thanks again and have a great weekend! We will be working on our Android, Windows Mobile and other platforms
