Bunch is building an incredibly fun, personal, interactive layer on top of games everyone loves. It’s the multiplayer experience that picks up where Game Center left off. Congrats to the team!

Hey guys, just launched this to transport listeners to places that play great music. It's backed by networked plug-and-play hardware that I put in these places so there's no laptop setup required. The goal would be to sell the hardware along with a subscription service for hosting the player which is embeddable on any website or app (TuneIn, etc). What sort of places would you tune into...

@rrhoover We are moving to college campuses then going to build a unique invitation system.

@rrhoover Yes there are more apps in the hyperlocal social space. Highlight is also one. Part of what's different with playdope is the fact that it's ambient (runs in the background to keep everyone's list of the 7 nearest people current) and it uses real-time games as a means of breaking the ice. I wouldn't put anything that's a stream limited to city-level ( e.g. Whisper, Tinder, etc)...
