dodgeball - location based service
dodgeball is an interesting service for mobile phone users that allows you to:
1. Use your mobile phone to look up addresses and cross-streets or find the closest pool table or Ms. Pac Man machine
2. Use your mobile phone to tell us where you are and we'll broadcast your whereabouts to all your friends.
3. Use your mobile phone to broadcast messages to people within 10 blocks of your current location.
Its an interesting early development for location based services - pre-GPS enabled phone era that is. Looking at the icon on the bottom right of the web page - "Help us pay out hosting bill! Please!", doesn't give a very good impression about the success of their business model.
