how we are different

100% check in free

To share your location on buddycloud, you don't need to check-in, unlock badges or become the mayor.

Just bookmark a place once and every time you return your location update is pushed out to your trusted friends. Automagically.

We believe that you should be able to bring your own identity to any social network. An identity which you own, control and keep. That's why we have built buddycloud to use your existing XMPP server and identity.

buddycloud is working through the OStatus group and with XMPP community to build the future of social networking. A future where you connect to you can connect to your friends no matter which social network they use.

All the buddycloud clients can be downloaded from our google page. Be they Symbian, Android or iPhone. (heck, even our website is opensourced!)

Download, play, remix and re-upload. If your features are good, we'll add them to the core.

push not pull

unlike competing services, buddycloud is realtime, push based. That means you get instant results you get instant satisfaction...not waiting until the next poll for feedback. Nice.

you control what is shown. That's it. Or leave the service. There's no profiling, no marketing no terms changing. Simple. Done.

who we are

We're a small company located near the Alps in Germany. We built buddycloud for ourselves and think that you might like it too. If you are in Munich, drop us a line and we'll go for a beer: +49 17 8545 0880 or email.

You can follow us on Twitter, our blog, Flickr and in Facebook.

props to: Chris and Martha and the Yellow-too team for their design help, Julie for her banjo picture, and you for stopping by.
