Project
InMile.com -
locates users, places them on a map and provides the ability to communicate. Not only with friends, but with complete strangers nearby.
Nowadays, globalization has reached incredible heights - we can make friends with people from New York, read what a Cambodian journalist thinks about an earthquake in Japan just a second after he published the text.

But! Do you know those near you? Who lives in the next yard (and you did not grow up in the area), who studies in the same building, who works in the next office building, who has lunch in the same café with a difference of two hours? What is the name of a pretty girl accidentally seen from the window? Who stuck the bitten apple / penguin on the baby carriage of his offspring?
With InMile.com you can meet these people. In a way, it is an analogue of local chats that small providers make (did).
The project is currently being developed by one person, but already knows how to perform basic functions.
Determine where you are, place you and others on the map, allows you to specify your position.
We get the most accurate location data from users of mobile devices who have GPS. Laptops and netbooks do quite well with FF, Opera and Chrome on board (theoretically, also the dextop Safari, but it works strangely, while the mobile Safari works with geolocation regularly), in IE 9 they promise geolocation support.
If the methods built in to the devices / browsers fail to establish the location, the service tries to do it over IP (with appropriate accuracy).
Users can chat, add each other to bookmarks directly on the site, or to friends on social networks through which they are authorized.
The service is still raw, needs some work and break-in, in the future it is planned to implement the system of “places” as foursquare and API for third-party developers who want to build applications using the data and technologies of the
InMile project.
I will be glad to your feedback, comments and suggestions to the project.
