Groovr does look pretty cool, and I can see some fun use of it for a while. I think sites like this may become a flash in the pan though. Without having everyone in your daily social network the use of it will probably be less than that of yahoo messenger, which lets your online network send you mobile messages and shows you as mobile with a send icon.  There were many important concerns pbrought up by the commentors on mashable and sigg, including these considerations: from “Web 2.0 Critic”: This is pretty dumb. Are a considerable number of people actually going to text a message everytime they “check in” to a place? Some will, but I don’t think it has mainstream appeal with this basic and tedious process. Eventually, in tandem with GPS, the carriers will offer a service that is directly integrated and much more efficient.

I don't know that I can use another start up that copies the 'r' from flickr...reminds me too much of zooomr or something. This would be cool if it is implemented into facebook or something, but I just don't see myself using it as a stand alone web app. Paul, wasn’t this your project?

Groovr won't accept my location, I tried Swansea, UK; Swansea, United Kingdom and Swansea, Wales and none of them work. I can understand only rolling it out to the US at first but please make it clear that the rest of us shouldn't bother! I could put in a random US location but it kind of defeats the object.
