Gypsii is a social network for people who use mobile devices and the web. The core of the network is that all content is geo-location tagged. This means that if you produce content in form of pictures, text, video - it will not only be shared with others on the network, but also tied to the exact location where the content creation took place (country, city, street, club, bar, restaurant, etc). Your friends on the network will be able to get information about the exact time and place where the shared event happened. That’s not all - users can create points of interest (ex. restaurant with good food and low prices). Each user can find these points of interest and get distance from their present location to the point of interest. There are plenty more ways to use this network, for example for checking what another friend did today (where they went, and corresponding generated content if available), and their present location relative to your own (if they are close by). Friends can easily find each other and meet for coffee or lunch, or at a common point of interest (a sale at a fashion store). Their video does a good job of explaining features, so check it out.

Gypsii officially announced their services at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona yesterday. It’s available in several languages for now - US English, UK English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

The fact that geo-location is deeply integrated into the service, may represent a nice advertising opportunity for local services and vendors. Each advertised business could easily be added by the user as a point of interest.
