"News of Apple\u2019s soft launch of the App Store for the iPhone/iPod touch has hit the streets, and we\u2019re already seeing reports of backdoor downloads of the iPhone 2.0 software update. Adventurous fans are lapping the stuff up. And while installs of applications from Facebook and MySpace are bound to rank among the biggest successes in the hours ahead, there are slightly smaller fish in the social networking realm that are seeking to make big splashes on Apple\u2019s newly expanded platform as well. One of them being Limbo.\nYep, Limbo. Recognize the name? Its designers label it \u201Cone of the largest mobile communities in the US,\u201D with some two million members registered to the network. Founded in 2005, Limbo has built itself largely upon mobile entertainment intertwined with socialization. It features games, sports news alerts, and generally casual interaction among its users. Fun above all else, in other words. And it\u2019s operable on most any mobile device and any US wireless carrier through a mixture of text-messaging and mobile Web options. Of course, access via a full-fledged PC is also provided.\nToday Limbo is looking to expand its horizons some more. Its application [iTunes URL], now compatible with both iPhone and iPod touch devices, is being positioned as something that enables members to communicate with one another by broadcasting their activities, their locations, and send messages to friends or the larger Limbo community. Consider it a quick way to stay in touch and see what\u2019s happening among your social circle. For especially active people, Limbo is akin to a hybrid of Loopt, Twitter and Facebook\u2019s status utility. Or any other status notifier, for that matter.\nVisually, it\u2019s attractive. But looking at the myriad of options currently listed in the App Store, that\u2019s clearly the norm. There\u2019s little ugly among the available downloads. Nonetheless, Limbo appears intuitive and something that could better connect you to your network of friends. Granted, they\u2019ll have to join the fold just the same, but if you as a group would perhaps like to try something new, something that might better fit your on-the-go lifestyle, Limbo seems worth signing into.\nLimbo"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
