Due August 3rd, 2010 - Loopt’s mission is to provide applications that help you instantly discover and connect with the friends, places and events around you by using your mobile phone.

Now, the world’s first and largest (over 3 million users) location-based social mapping service is taking things a step further with the launch of a brand new iPhone App: Loopt Star - the first-of-its-kind, mobile challenge game that lets users compete, have fun with their friends and win rewards.

What kind of rewards you might ask? How about 25% off of your next purchase at The Gap? Or 5 free MP3 downloads from artists like Rihanna and Lady Gaga (feature arriving shortly; http://amplify.com/loopt) just by visiting your favorite local bar or restaurant with a group of your Facebook friends? Or other REAL-world rewards from top brands? Sound a little better than a virtual merit badge?  Yeah, we thought so...

PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Loopt wants you to work together to create a 30-second video/commercial that demonstrates the real-world benefits of using Loopt Star.  Your mission is to download the Loopt Star application (http://www.loopt.com/looptstar), explore the world around you, connect with your friends, get real world rewards, and then tell the rest of the world how and why they should do the same.
