Goba

Goba is an application for smartphones that is meant to get you offline. This tool's main purpose is to connect you with others in person. Using Goba you can create events and invite your friends so that you can all get together in person. It is much easier to assess who is attending an event when you have a “formal” invitation. Facebook has discovered this as well and has created an events application. Often when trying to organize a get-together it becomes difficult if you are the middle mad relaying information to numerous people. This feature streamlines that process into a simple invitation. You can also create a group and use the group chat feature to discuss plans. This keeps everyone in touch at once. You can also use the Discover button to find out what is happening around you. You could discover local concerts, festivals, or anything you and your friends may enjoy! Goba could be used by groups of friends or by small organizations to create events and communicate with friends. You could plan a trip to a pizza place or a fundraiser for your organization; it’s all up to you. Goba has realized that while computer mediated communication is an awesome technology, people need face to face interaction as well. Goba is a great micro-coordination tool. It allows you to make the plans, change plans, and relate final plans to your desired group.
