Here's a new spin on finding out where all the beautiful people are. A new on line application called citysense. It uses GPS and Wifi to pinpoint where the crowds are gathering and senses activity in the city and shows you a "heat map" of where everyone is congregating. Plans are for an alarm clock to let you know when things get hopping or not. Testing in San Francisco and rolling out to NYC and Chicago. Free Download available for BlackBerry's, iPhones and other devices.
I can't decide if this is really cool and the next great techno lifestyle toy or just something that desperate aging clubbers use to find the next big moment. Can see it working with trendy eateries -Can I get in without a reservation? How busy is it? but not sure retailers would really want to promote that (a) no one is in the store and the clerk is filing her nails or (b) H and M is packed with fashion wannabes ripping finery from the fixtures....
and what if the heat index works out to gravitate to a place with um....people that ain;t that hot?
