Why iFob?

The world can be a stark, concrete-and-steel place. Maybe we go out because we want to be mildly entertained, pleasantly surprised, or, sometimes, to have our hair blown back and be able to say, "Wow!" Maybe we want to meet each other, to share stories and more. Maybe we want to know there are other people studying and taking classes, other people listening to music, other people who are like us. iFob is more than just glowing screens and clicking key strokes. iFob is about the actual people who are in the same place as we are: right here, close by.

What Is iFob?

iFob, from iCloseBy, is software for the iPhone, the iPod touch, Windows and Mac laptops.
iFob becomes a beacon. It can transmit and listen. iFob can say, "I am Here," and it can listen and search for any other close by copy of iFob. You quickly configure iFob to transmit whatever sort of tagline you want. Your publically transmitted tagline could be something as simple as, "I go to the U," or as wild as, "Help! I need someone to drive me to Canada tonight!"

iFob is fun and simple.
There are no required fields, no acceptance forms, no commitments, no subscription fees. iFob helps people find and meet each other. Real people who are already so close that they could look up and smile at each other.
