FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hoozware, Inc. (www.Hoozware.com) announced today the launch of its new Nightlife Networking service. The service displays real-time demographics, such as crowd size, gender mix, and average age for places where people like to socialize. The service also provides mobile coupons from participating venues, including 35 Bay Area pubs, restaurants and bars that are now offering promotional $1 drinks to Hoozware members.
“Hoozware is a free mobile service that tells you who’s where, offers, events, right now at your favorite places to hang out,” said Dr. James Kramer, CEO of Hoozware. “Our seminal patents covering real-time crowd demographics and mobile coupon technology increase our competitive advantage over other services,” he added.
Hoozware members use the service to decide where to go based on real-time updates about the crowd at a venue, mobile coupons, and events going on around town. In order to redeem a mobile coupon, a member checks-in and answers two quick survey questions about the current crowd: (1) is it a light, medium or packed crowd, and (2) is it an even gender mix, mostly men or mostly women. This unique survey information for a venue, together with offers and events at the venue, is posted on the Hoozware website. It may also be posted to Facebook® and Twitter®, letting others know what’s currently going on and giving the venue endorsement and advertisement from its patrons. As an added reward to members for checking in, they get to play a checkin bonus game for a chance to win additional valuable discounts.
Sonny Walters, GM of the Britannia Arms in Downtown San Jose, is impressed with the new ways Hoozware helps promote his pub, saying, “In addition to mobile coupons, I like how it lets people know when we have a good crowd for our live music and special events. It’s the way of the future.”
An avid Hoozware user, Helen Garcia, said, “Hoozware really does it all. It’s fun to see where the crowds are and what’s going on around town. It helps me decide where to go, and I also get great discounts.”
Hoozware also seamlessly integrates a free opt-in dating service where members can set preferences for the type of person they’re looking to meet. The service then enhances its real-time demographics to highlight matches.
Besides showing what’s happening right now, Hoozware lets members anticipate the crowd and what’s going on for an upcoming date by displaying projected demographics, as well as future discounts and events.
Hoozware is free to sign up and use by simply going to www.Hoozware.com.
Hoozware is currently putting together a round of financing.
