What is the Banjo App?
Banjo is not new but more than likely new to you. It is a social discovery app that uses GPS data along with social network info to find nearby contacts/friends. You might ask why would I want to use this?
How Does the Banjo App Work?
Banjo populates info from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, FourSquare, Google+, and LinkedIn and keep you updated with your contacts/friends. It also provides a map view to locate any of your connections near and far, all in real-time. Banjo even notifies you of any nearby friends. The app seeks to replace your need to use the fore mentioned apps separately. Banjo is now 4 million users strong!
“Banjo is the fun way to explore what’s happening anywhere in the world right now.”
In time for the many live events, and friend meet-ups at SXSW, Banjo announced version 3.3 of their app. With this update, event location and content are synced to provide a more “real time” feed. Just because you’re not close to an event, it doesn’t mean that your feed won’t show it. It shows real-time information from all the social networks at the same time.
In case you didn’t make it out to SXSW this year, you can follow Divas and Dorks Publisher Christen Rochon or any other friends to give you a social feel of what you missed.
The app is free and is available for both Android and iOS. Check it out and let us know how you like it.
