CrowdCloud bring multiple apps into one, but creates yet another network you have to manage. The CrowdCloud app for iPhone, is app pulls in social network updates from the services like Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, in addition to other CrowdCloud users into one place that you can filter in order to find exactly what you're looking for, sans all the app-switching.
The concept is sound, as there are so many ways via online services/mobile apps to find out one particular thing you're looking for, that it can be pretty easy to get overwhelmed (or is it just me?).
With CrowdCloud, you can pick and choose what types of information you want to see, and let the app do the heavy-lifting of showing you just what you want to see. Additional features include sharing your location with other CrowdCloud users and seeing where all your friends on in real-time on one map.
The issue with CrowdCloud, as with many other location-based apps is that instead of just offering its information to users who just want to "troll" the app for its information, the app wants, nay, needs users of its own in order to truly be useful.
CrowdCloud really pushes the capability of finding out where your friends are and what they're doing. In order to do that, you need to share the app with your friends and actively create 'reports' by posting information about where you are and what you're doing. That to me, sounds like another social network I have to manage.
