Pitch

Next2.Us’s mission is to promote awareness of local resources so friends and neighbors can use the internet and mobile phones to find each other and together build strong viable communities. As a “geosocial” application the Next2.Us software allows anyone to set a location on a map, publish information about their location (including their interest and expertise) and discover and exchange content with others based on geographical proximity between users.

Next2.Us is a mobile application that uses SMS messaging protocol and/or mobile browser as way to classify and exchange data between users.
