The app I wish I had in a college setting was a simple way of letting people know that I'm open to doing certain things at a certain time.

The best example i'm thinking about is like a pre-checkin feature for something like foursquare so friends can see I'm open to going to a bar/movie/dinner etc & they know it's worthwhile to call me, instead of having to do a bunch of back & forth messages to see who is up for any given thing at a time. Maybe this is because so many of my friends want to know "who else is interested" before they even express interest.

Yeah! Exactly. We're including that in the form of a broadcast. Public broadcasts will appear like "James is at the pub" and then there's an option to join

But we're working on making this less creepy. Might shift more towards what you were saying

Thanks!!
