Singapore-based software developer Xsago is working on an app for the iPhone that combines location-based services with social networking.
Called Foyage, this app will be able to tell you what shops, restaurants and ATMs are around you. It will also tell you if your friends are in the vicinity. In addition, Foyage will allow users to post comments from within the application that are simultaneously posted to Twitter as well.
The company has been working on Foyage since August 2008, according to company founder Willson Cuaca. He is hopeful Foyage will be ready by early 2009.
Willson’s background is in network security and his developers are new to Objective-C, but this has not deterred them from exploring the iPhone. “I’ve learned that you have to be in front of the wave,” says Willson. “If you wait too long, you lose first-mover advantage.”
Xsago is hoping that Foyage will generate revenue from mobile marketing, especially those tied to proximity. “We hope Foyage will enable impulse transactions,” says Willson.
Foyage certainly sounds promising. Let’s hope it gets off the ground soon.
