Mobiluck 2.0 Officially Launched: Location-based Social Platform, With Minimum Friction and No Need for GPS

Finally it's out :) Patrick has just posted the official PR for the launch of Mobiluck 2.0 or Mobiluck Live (on wap).

The new version is a major upgrade to the original bluetooth messaging application that first showed on late 2003, and the Mobiluck team have made an amazing work to create this service, which is essentially also a platform for location-based mobile applications.

My big congrats and salute to Olivier, Patrick, Lison, Laurent, Stephane, Tristan, Marc, Thibault, Oualid and everyone who helped to forge the new Mobiluck experience.

What is this experience then?

At simple level - Mobiluck answers the question "Where are my friends now/ What's around me now". it's a location awareness tool. The post gives good examples how Mobiluck elegantly complements our everyday intuitive needs to asses what's on our radar.

In a deeper perspective - Mobiluck is also emerging as a platform to power social mobile applications with location awareness.
Want to build an auction system for securing free parking lots in trafficked cities? You can use Mobiluck. Interested in location-based marketing campaigns with special social features? Mobiluck can easily provide that.

How about mashing up facebook apps with real world location data received from Mobiluck? also possible I guess. Location meets lifestream.

This avenue for social location based apps is simply fascinating, as it adds a new layer of data and meaning to your social experience. I'll try to explain more about the potential of this platform in the next posts.

Mobiluck 2.0 - Soon Launching

It's coming very soon, so meanwhile I just made this nice teaser image.

Mobiluck 2.0 (also called Mobiluck Live) will wrap up some really cool features for location and proximity awareness around the native mobile + bluetooth messaging.
I'm already thinking how Music related services could be tied with this, and interesting ideas are coming.

Mobiluck Live (2.0) coming soon...

(Disclaimer: I'm a small investor in Mobiluck)

At the recent 3gsm I had a great time together with Olivier Chouraki, the CEO of Mobiluck.
Apart from going to parties and strolling the venue with models, he also showed me the beta version of the upcoming Mobiluck 2.0 - a neat Mobile IM app with global/local location features that open possibilities for all sorts of cool services.

It's still a closed beta, but I hope to post some screenshots soon. The first Mobiluck client was the leading bluetooth messenger (see a very cool flash movie here), with the biggest handset compatibility. The new version introduces a full online app, client-free, in addition to the client version.

Bluetooth and mobile proximity services have taken a big step ahead in the last year, and Mobiluck aims at this growing domain as well.

With the Nokia N90 series, as Loïc Le Meur shows.

Nokia has also aired a special blog to cover this series, with an intention to provide easy-to-use content for bloggers and publishers.

The models look sleek and already got good (not to say "overwhelming")reviews. If you got one, you might be glad to know that Mobiluck, the bluetooth communication messenger, and generally a very cool application, is available for this series as well (Download it here).
