Introducing The Hotlist for iPhone, Geo-Social Activity On-the-Go

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Hotlist (www.TheHotlist.com), the first geo-social aggregator to show users what?s going on in their Facebook network today, tomorrow and throughout the week, has launched The Hotlist iPhone app ?and it?s free. Designed to take mobile networking to the next level, the Hotlist app simplifies social decisions by providing comprehensive event and venue data specifically tailored to the behavior and favorites of each user and their friends.

?People work and people play. However, planning even the smallest get together can be very time-consuming and frustrating?

The Hotlist app offers the latest on friends? present and future social destinations, and finds the closest venues and activities to the user?s current location by compiling information from multiple online sources, such as Facebook, Twitter and Yelp. The Hotlist app also filters public social activities of over 100 million people worldwide, providing more social information than any other app of its kind.

?People work and people play. However, planning even the smallest get together can be very time-consuming and frustrating,? said Gianni Martire, CEO of The Hotlist. ?Our mobile app allows people to make the most out of their social life by giving friends a place to share their social plans, eliminating the stress of phone tag, endless text messages and disappointing evenings. The Hotlist instantly gives people information that used to take hours to figure out, a one-stop app to organize your social life.?

Ongoing event and venue reviews from friends and tweets on The Hotlist app are a great way to glimpse what?s going on around you and who?s going to be there. Users can even create a custom ?hotlist? of favorite locations and recommend places to friends, allowing constant discoveries of new places and interests.

With The Hotlist?s iPhone app, mobile users get immediate access to the past, present and future social scene on any given day by browsing nearby friends? events and venues:

• Friend profiles show where they have been, where they are at now and where they are going later
• Venue profiles outline the scene including friend attendance, crowd photos and the guy-to-girl ratio
• Event profiles include real-time Twitter updates, event details and basic information about attendees

With over 160,000 monthly active users, expect to see The Hotlist on Blackberry and Android shortly.
