In the rare cases that I have not sat in a chat room and write on the phones I usually hang out, play the role of "facilitator" among my friends. You probably have too: Messaging people to see who's available, find out who wants to eat that for PVP against potential partiers, works. This is a bit distracting to say the least, but if you are usually stuck with this responsibility and you have a Windows phone and Bing recently, "we're in" application might be just right for you.

The process is very simple: when you use application to create events and invite people to him, the invitation goes out via text message. Once your friends respond (either from a Windows application or mobile website), their locations will be displayed on the map, which is perfectly suited to save bookmarks on that one friend who is always late.

All participants can leave status updates on the fly, so the first man who makes it into a restaurant can let others know that he snagged a table in the back. It's just a duck from the events that you carried out, although the Protocol suggests that you should leave a farewell status update in such a way as not to get a reputation as a cereal.

In a sense, it's almost like we're in is Foursquare the other half: while Foursquare lets you know when someone makes it somewhere, we deal with all the back-end logistics-getting there first. Instead of an individual and back and try to determine who knows that we are putting all of that information in one place. Bing team announced their intention to bring in other devices, but a pity international partiers: the United States just now.
