I’ve got a freebie idea for you iPhone app designers.
When I meet someone at a networking event and I want to meet them at a neutral half-way point we have the hardest time coming up with the best spot. Normally someone ends up driving a majority of the distance to the other person. Sometimes people are familiar with their local area and the parts of town in between are pretty hazy. Other times, one or both parties aren’t in a familiar area because they have a meeting somewhere out of their local area so they are already starting in unfamiliar ground. Numerous times I found myself in this situation and if it isn’t me then I over-hear two people having a conversation very similar to this.
In steps a handy iPhone app!
Two address fields pop up where the addresses or areas of town each individual will be coming from can be entered. Starting with the closest point in the middle and going out in each direction the app could list appropriate places the two parties could meet in the middle. For another cool functional the app could have a field to enter the time of day or what the parties would like to meet over. Coffee? Lunch? Cocktails? Adding this functionality allows the app even more flexibility!
Wouldn’t it be great to know you weren’t going to end up in a shady area of town for your next face-to-face meeting?
Since I’m not an iPhone owner could you make it web-based too? Great! Thanks a lot.
If you’ve got this covered here is the perfect opportunity for you to pimp your stuff!

I’ll be passing this idea along to my coding genius son. If he decides to develop it, I’ll make sure you get a copy
