Meetro Coming for DS... And PSP
Source: Nintendo Insider

A Chicago based Meetroduction, LLC has created the ultimate “breaking the ice” instant messenger program. This new instant messaging application is called Meetro (www.meetro.com) and is created by the team of CEO Paul Bragiel (current CEO of Paragon 5) and President Wendell Davis III (ex-producer of Cave Barn Studios). What makes Meetro a unique instant messenger is that it shows the proximity in miles how far away each user is from your location. Paul Bragiel explains, “Meetro is the new dynamic way to meet people local to you.” Wendell Davis III states, "Meetro makes finding people within walking distance a breeze -- perhaps even a summer breeze." It will cater to people wanting to make friends in their new town and especially targeting college students who are dying to meet new friends (also a great way to procrastinate on that English paper). It allows users to have their picture and taglines, and also allows users to message people on AOL AIM and ICQ (MSN, Yahoo and Jabber are coming soon).

Features of Meetro include:
- Instant Messenger program telling how far users are away from each other in miles.
- Includes taglines, user pictures and an extensive customizable user profile.
- The program has AIM, ICQ support. Yahoo support will come out later this month and MSN will be around the corner. Jabber support coming later.
