Apple’s Social Network Patent: iGroups
The patent application, 20100070758, Group Formation Using Anonymous Broadcast Information, describes “iGroups, which will allow iPhone users to create social groups during a conference, gathering or any other social event” and will include information on where members of the group are located. If location is not readily available, apparently a tool from within MobileMe will provide one, per Patently Apple, which provides detailed analysis. The application was submitted in Sept 2008.
