Skyhook announced today that we will provide the location information on Rummble’s new Windows Mobile app.  Rummble has received a lot of buzz in the UK as it is one of the first social networking apps to use Geo tweets.  It is a cool combo of Twitter, Yelp and Foursquare.  The app serves as a real-time recommendations platform. It allows people to easily rate, share and review any location or point of interest in the world.  As you use it, it will learn your preferences and show you places you will like. You can see what is happening nearby in specific venues, then check-in and notify your group of friends via Twitter, Facebook, SMS or email.

Our partnership with Rummble shows again that innovative apps which rely heavily on location need Skyhook in order to perform best.  It also serves as an example of another Windows Mobile app that requires better location services than those offered by the native platform.  We look forward to even more inventive and cool LBS apps being released on platforms other than iPhone, and their use of Skyhook.
