My Virtual Neighbor Releases "Chilling Here" and "Photo Sharing" iPhone Apps!
MyVirtualNeighbor has today announced the official launch for the "Chilling Here" and "Photo Sharing" application modules for iPhone.
HOUSTON, March 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- With their individual application, each module delivers a different benefit to the user.
The "Chilling Here" app, allows users to invite neighbors, as well as contacts on their phone; to join at local places. This gives the ability to "check in" and encourage more face-to-face time, with each other. For Instance "I check in at local pub 3 blocks down from where I live, I could inform all my neighbors - one or all - with just one click inviting them to join me for a drink. I also have the ability to invite non My Virtual Neighbor users that are my contacts to meet up." explained Amit Mehta, Founder of the MyVirtualNeighbor site.
The "Photo Sharing" app, on the other hand, offers users a one-click upload. This will enable your neighbors to see pictures in real time and make comments. "Having recently partnered up with Crime-Stoppers, the Photo Sharing app can help reduce crime in the neighborhood. "Taking pictures with your phone and sharing it in real time by uploading them to your neighborhood wall, is indeed a great way to prevent or catch criminals one's neighborhood," he said.
Further he noted, the mobile app enables all one's neighbors to instantly find out what's happening in your area. "Examples are maybe you see a stranger in a neighborhood, see a cool deal at a restaurant, lights are left on, see a strange vehicle never in your area, there's no end to it... you simply snap a photo with your phone, upload it to your neighborhood wall, and like magic, everyone is immediately notified to whatever you want them to be aware of," said Amit.
The mobile app is free for all My Virtual Neighbor users. Please go to app store in Itunes and download the app called "MVN."
