For those of you who don’t just spend your life gaming and who actually have a life that involves other people, the best Android applications that are being developed are those that are designed for mobile social networking. This is one of the MIT creations; a mobile social network that turns all of your Android phone contacts into “friends”. Each of these friends can tag events and their locations and then you can see them through a Google Maps ap that uses real-time geolocation features. If people are taking photos at the event, they can upload them to the phone so you can watch things unfold even if you can’t be there. Loco is an application that’s marketed towards the partying youth crowd but it’s also one that could be good for live event bloggers and on-location journalists who want to update their contact base with real-time geographically-relevant information.

Requirements: Android compatibile mobile phone.
