Plazes is getting a native iPhone app when the iTunes store opens up next month. Described as "Twitter with geotagging, points of interest, and social networking features" (quote and news from Techcrunch), services like Twinkle for the iPhone are going to have some competition soon. The service runs on the basic idea of connecting people and giving you updates when people are in the area (their website shows a spontaneous night out happening because everyone is on Plazes).

I  personally think these things are pretty bloody awesome, and I think Twitter is amazing as it is (Plazes has Twitter integration ) — but I don’t really have many people to interact with in my area. Maybe in a couple of years as people get more and more ‘connected’ (and maybe disconnected personally, but let’s not wax philosophical) I’ll have more reason to use services like this.

But for those of you who do, here’s a demo video of iPlazer.
