Like to share with your friends photo and music? the mobile app that lets you share information with other people by bumping your phones together, Bump makes sharing with people as simple, just pick what you want to send, then hold your phones and gently bump hands with another Bump user. And now, you can message with your friends who aren't near you -- just add them as a friend inside of Bump and start messaging immediately-it's kind of like a long-distance "virtual bump".
After you've bumped or added a friend on the Bump system, you can send messages anytime, complete with instant push notifications.
Bump is the mobile interface world, if you will. The app uses a mobile phone's accelerometer and compass to send its location to the Bump servers whenever it vibrates. When Bump gets a signal that two phones have vibrated at the exact same moment in time, and in very close proximity, then the service presumes those two users are the intended recipients of one-anothers' message or sharing action. It's an ingenious idea.
Originally just for sharing contact information, Bump can now be used to share photos, music, calendar events and more. You can even send money between Bump users, via the company's PayPal integration.
