Mizoon Integrates with Facebook Connect

Shared Identity and Social Network Makes it Easier to Stay Connected and Locate Friends on the Go

 

Palo Alto, CA – May 12, 2009 - As part of its plan to connect people with friends at any location, Mizoon, a location based social network service, announced its integration with Facebook Connect.  The integration allows facebook users to access Mizoon using their facebook identity and to leverage their existing social network within Mizoon to enjoy location-based, mobile networking. Shared profiles, networks, and logins make it even easier for Mizoon users to find new friends with common interests in locations like restaurants,
clubs, and bookstores and to connect with friends while they are out. .

Mizoon lets people connect with others on the fly, location to location.  Integrating with Facebook allows Mizooners to quickly access their network and locate friends who may be near them or down the street.  Mizoon requires only a browser rather than a GPS phone, enabling virtually everyone with a cell phone to find people with similar interests and profiles in their location and see which locations their friends are in – all from their phone.

Social Networking in a Social Setting
“Today, people are hyper-connected and in most social locations like cafes or restaurants, you’ll find people in a conversation with a companion and on their cell texting, trying to find other friends or their next destination. Mizoon finds their friends for them, helps zoom in on great social locations, and lets them quickly see interesting people in their current location,” said Mizoon founder and CEO Daryoush Paknad. “Mizoon takes social networking to social settings.”

“Facebook is a great integration point because it let’s our users instantly find and connect with friends when they’re out.  By putting “location” into social networking and tapping their Facebook network, Mizoon let’s users really socialize.  Mizoon’s work and play profiles make sure user online privacy is appropriate for their location.” said Kelly Chaplin VP of Marketing at Mizoon.
