Proximate Global created face2face as way to help people connect in real time, face to face. face2face is a mobile application that uses proximity-based networking technology to combine and organize existing friend networks so users can know when people from online social and business networks —and friends of their friends—are “Nearby,” enabling them to connect in that moment. It is not another social network, but rather a way to organize, manage and enhance existing friend networks.
