You can’t imagine how excited we were—but then the reality quickly turned to panic when we realized that meant we needed to build a homepage within 24 hours. After a quick celebratory drink at Bear’s Lair in Berkeley, we started bracing for a hectic day, and here is the result! If you look around you’ll see a few holes here and there (please excuse us), but to the dev and design team, thanks for coming through in a pinch, and for everyone else, please check back frequently over the next few days as we add content.
If you are reading this, you are probably interested in our Android application. We’ll try to post some more comprehensive screenshots later tonight or tomorrow and perhaps a video next week. I’m also very excited to do our “real” company introduction, because Android and mobile is only one piece of what we are about—so stay tuned!
We also are very curious to hear what you think. If you post a comment or shoot us an email I promise to get back to you.

Congratulations!
Although I am not working on the field of IT, Android expressed me since its first news. And now, I can see that life360 wins one of the first place in this competition.
Having read some lines of introduction and I think that's really good idea and more than that it is a good system (not just a software, right?).
Stay connected anywhere and share your emotions, ideas, and ...
My idea is building a system where we can, from any smartphone (palm, android, bb, windows mobile, symbian,...):
- Blogging and sharing our news, text, link, photo,...
- Connecting with friends and our networks.
- Reading updates from the community.
- Using a software on our cell-phone, not browser to do so since the browser is so stuffy and hard to use on such a small screen. Of course, we can use this features on the PC, laptop (by using browser).
That's very nice if we can do so with life360.
By the way, let me say "we are proud of you" to the Vietnamese (or has origin of vietnamese) in your team.
Viet.
As a family man with four kids I try not to worry about my daughters, but let’s face it “today’s society is whacked” have you seen the pedophile online map of your neighborhood lately. Good god what has the world come to. Thanks to you and your team for a practical application that I can actually use. Can’t wait for the application to go public. A must need for every family!

Hey Viet,
thanks for the kudos. Yes, I'm a Vietnamese and proud to be one.
I attribute our recent recognition to such a great team and great product/service. Nothing beats the safety of ourselves and our family.

Great idea!....Congratulations. Is this going to be worldwide? I am currently in the UK.
Nice application and well designed! Using user-driven content for helping the community as a whole is a noble gesture. Now that your app is set to go to market, are there any particular steps towards addressing issues like preventing users from misusing the app? For example, posting false information or overwhelming with lots of data, etc.?
Hi Ravi,
We will have a few different controls. First, the community can flag and moderate posts. Second, we will charge for posts after a certain number are made; this isn't to make money for us, but to ruin any economic incentive someone has to spam the system. Third, users can filter posts by affiliation, so you can choose to only view events made by people somehow connected with you.
