About

Jabalong is a geo-social networking application that enables individuals to communicate effectively with people who are physically located around them.  With Jabalong, there is a real-time networking opportunity around every corner – users can connect with strangers within their geographic proximity who share something in common such as an affinity for technology, literature or sports.  Through location-aware Jabberboxes, individuals can join groups, meet new people and expand their networks.

Since Jabalong is a true framework, the uses are endless – from marketing a new product or service to social networking. Jabalong harnesses the power of real-time chat coupled with a geographic awareness which empowers users to connect in new ways.
•     Businesses use Jabalong to attract more customers within a defined area, retain existing customers and build customer loyalty without the need to create sophisticated, expensive systems or navigate the constraints of existing social networking tools.  Advertising takes on a new dimension with a Jabalong – imagine hitting your target customer at exactly the right place and right time, at the users’ discretion and convenience.

•     Conference sponsors and planners pride themselves on creating an unforgettable networking experience and Jabalong helps them exceed attendee expectations.  Jabalong provides a platform for conference attendees to register for and connect with other attendees before, during and after the event and provides a simple solution to track prospective leads, new contacts and colleagues.

•     Schools are constantly competing with social networking technologies to keep students, faculty and staff connected and engaged within moderated forums.  With Jabalong, life on campus takes on a new dimension - students can connect by geographic proximity and collaborate on projects and faculty can offer roaming office hours, making themselves more available to students.

•     Organizations such as not-for-profits and trade associations are challenged to keep multi-generational members engaged and informed. Jabalong offers a simple, user-friendly system for organizations to manage event registration, distribute industry news and organization information, and aid members in the critical task of networking.
