About
Roamz aggregates social signals from Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, and Instagram to deliver location-based streams and personalized venue recommendations with interest filters and optional social account connections.
Mission
Roamz aggregates social signals from services like Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter and Instagram to present a location-based stream of what people are buzzing about nearby. The app lets users optionally connect their social accounts and uses check-ins, friends' activity, shared likes and in-app thumbs up/down to personalize recommendations. Its main interface offers toggles to filter results by interests such as Shopping, Events & Entertainment, Restaurants, Children and Pets. The team notes venue categorization is more complete in major metro regions and is roughly 50% complete in smaller areas. Planned features include push-delivered recommendations via iOS5, potential Siri integration, and the possibility for brands to send highly personalized push messages. The company is Australian-based and in early stages of development, having raised external capital to support growth.
