We’re excited to announce that the Pocketcrowd app is starting it’s public alpha version this next week. We’ve been very encouraged by the prototype testing and consumer usage that started mid-way through Summer 2010. Plus there has been a numerous major geo-location developments since we started the prototype with Foursquare, the launch of Facebook Places, the rapid rise of “online deals” services and advancements with other apps and services, etc., etc.
