Loopt…No Star

With the sheer amount of LBS-inspired social networking apps floating around, there is bound to be some crossover or commonalities between them. However, the release of Loopt Star hits a little too close to the app that started it all — Foursquare. Generally speaking, with Loopt Star you go places, connect with friends, earn rewards and achievements, and aim to become the Boss of a certain location. Plus, it’s Facebook enabled. With Foursquare, you go places, connect with friends, earn rewards and badges, aim to become a place’s Mayor, and you can link it to your Facebook as well. Sound familiar?
I think it’s great that so many apps are trying to connect people with places and encourage exploration (as opposed to sitting idly by the computer, updating Twitter and whatnot), and a lot of apps have a lot of interesting and unique things to offer within this realm. But, really, Loopt Star, you couldn’t come up with an edge of your own? Sure, there may be some minor differences, but when it comes down to it, Loopt Star is really just a Foursquare follower.
