Bump is one of those iPhone apps that are instantly like-able, feature a simple idea that ‘s very well executed, and offer a bit of a ‘wow ‘ factor when you show them to your iPhone-owning friends. Bump lets you simply fist-bump with another iPhone user who ‘s running the app to exchange contact information.
I reviewed the app last year and was very impressed with it “ so I ‘m happy to see it has a big new update to Version 2.0, and some snazzy new features, including:
- Calendar: users can send calendar invites and compare schedules by bumping
- Social networks: Instant friending on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Users can also compare their networks to find mutual friends.
- Chat: Bump now includes a chat feature that allows you to keep sending messages, photos, and invites to your friend without another bump!
Here ‘s a little more from their App Store page:
* Brand new design!
* Send as many photos and contacts as you want
* Twitter and LinkedIn integration in addition to Facebook
* Share calendar events and compare schedules
* "Chat view" lets you keep sharing after a bump
* Extra magic
I haven ‘t had a chance to try out the new version just yet, but I am very keen to. In fact I ‘m willing to accost strangers with iPhones in my local coffee shops to give the new features a whirl “ so if you happy to be in a South Austin coffee spot and see some odd guy rabbiting on about Bump, that ‘ll be me. 🙂
You can grab this latest version of Bump in the App Store now, and it ‘s a free app.
