Apps its call name, MingleBird launched this morning at the Launch conference in San Francisco. Some of the judges seemed skeptical about whether they’d use this. MingleBird is a mobile socializing app that makes a game out of introductions. Played at social or professional gatherings, MingleBird revs up mingling and makes networking fun.
If you’ve ever attended a tech event in the hopes of networking but ended up spending most of your time in the corner, startup MingleBird is launching an iPhone application to make the process a little easier.
MingleBird is looking to partner with large events like conferences initially. Event organizers create a code for the event. Then when users download the app and enter the code, they enter into a game where they earn points by introducing themselves to recommended contacts and taking a photo together.
Other features include MingleWords, which show the different topics of conversation at the event and connect you around the words that you’re interested in. And if the introduction goes well, you can push a button to add a contact to your address book.
