"Full steam ahead" in two different directions, that maybe... MAYBE compliment each other.

To me it seems you've just split your focus. And for a start-up that has pivoted a million times and was "featured-out" by Twitter and Facebook, I'm saying you guys have it cut out for you.

Are you a messaging service? Are you a check in yelp thing? Two different problem domains, which will make swapping resources in between apps difficult.. communication between development teams across both products will begin to break down and tenets/design philosophy/code quality will begin to diverge. There will be a "better app" and a "crappy app," which will do wonders to swiftly destroy the culture on the team that is getting less love.

Good luck to you.
