Breadcrumbs - see what's happening at your favorite places

Hey HN If you're more visual, here's a video I recorded: https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6jrkwo09fr2zgw/HardRock.mov The first minute shows the app, the last three minutes is a very cool demo. I'll be sitting here all day answering questions and taking suggestions. Ask me anything and I'll respond immediately. Breadcrumbs is an app that allows you to see what's happening at all your favorite places - all in one dashboard. Instead of going to a business' Facebook page or a Twitter page or relying on your newsfeed to show you info you want to see, simply "Remember" a business and you can manage all of that information in one place. http://breadcrumbs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/phone-places-list.png What's cool is that a business doesn't have to participate in our program for us to provide useful information about them. We match Foursquare locations with social media pages (currently only support Facebook) and so Breadcrumbs works for a business whether it's located in San Francisco, San Diego, or Cedar Rapids. The coolest part is when a business is participating in our program. If you're tracking a business and you're in the area when they've got something going on, you'll get a notification encouraging you to drop by. Since you only receive notifications from places you choose to "Remember", there's no need to worry about spam. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g29cvgqvg6n53e2/2013-04-17%2012.57.57.png We've got 20 pilot programs onboard right now and it has been a pretty easy sell to get them to give an incentive to their customers to download the app. Breadcrumbs functions like a business' app, so instead of dropping $1,000 to get "John's Restaurant" app, sign up for Breadcrumbs instead. We're backed by Qualcomm Labs and we're based out of the EvoNexus tech incubator in beautiful Downtown San Diego. -Sean
