Spotflag

Spotflag is a social media platform that allows people to post announcements about parties, events, service meetings etc. You can search events by distance and event type. Others use Spotflag to check in at a location throughout campus. This platform was tested at American University and has had positive responses. However, it seems as if this platform is really taking pieces of other social media sites. It will be interesting to see if a site like this can survive in the clutter of the social media world without offering anything new.
