Today, a main project of mine, Nuux is opening its doors officially for the public Beta! Nuux is a mobile social network dedicated to real-time social nightlife information. I would like to take the opportunity to let you know some details about this network and how it works. I will try not to make too much of a plug, but I am biased, since I’m the main person behind this, so reader beaware!
Ok, so Nuux is about real-time nightlife information. You can checkout live where friends are partying, checkin to locations and events, message your friends for free, see what’s the hottest venues and generally get insider information about a particular town. To get my motivation behind this project maybe I can explain how it all began:
I was going out with some friends and ended up in a place where we had already paid some cover charge but it was not good at all. How would it be to have some network to check-out what other places and events are like, right now? An app to see where your friends are right now, how they like it, see pics, and recommendations from people just like me?
The idea developed into what has become Nuux right now. Currently you can checkout Nuux as a web platform, a mobile site, and the mobile application. Nuux is tightly integrated into Facebook (Single Sign On, Friend Connect, Publish, Pictures Sharing etc.). This means that for example the there is no actual friend building process required you can just use your connections from Facebook if you like, which are sync’ed on a daily basis.
The Mobile App, which is actually the main part is a 2ME Client available for most of the phones from Nokia, Samsung, SE, LG, Moto (other clients are comming, Blackberry the soonest in about a months time, then iPhone, Android). The website currently only shows a small part of the functionality which is available in Nuux. For example you can let your friends know of your Weekend Plans by linking directly to a venue of your city. Venues can all be filled with user generated content – ratings, tags, comments, pics, and weekend plans. So you can find out what is going to be a popular venue in a particular city on all those attributes.
In the near future we will also offer an API, to enable fellow developers developing their own applications on the Nuux network. If you would like to be notified for an early access, please contact us on developers@nuux.net.
If you would like to get more info please check out the Nuux Blog, or follow Nuux on Twitter .
And yes, please let me know what you think about it either in the comments or on uservoice.
Thanks – and I promise this will be the first and only plug for Nuux, really!
