I find it kind-of interesting how common features on IM services can be rebranded into a startup.

it's also funny that I can't think of any IM services that are making money.. or rather I have no idea how they make money.

however it seems like with geo fencing and a willingness to share your address book with a new service it can do all the work for you, so it might be useful, but profitable? without selling contact info i don't get. ads in the status screen?
