Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

At this year's SXSW, social discovery apps were seen as the next big thing. 

 

We're working with our friends in Silicon Valley on Banjo, a social
discovery app which provides tools to discover what your connections are
doing in specific locations elsewhere in the world, rather than just nearby.

 

In July we launched Banjo's new feature "trending places" which promised to
help users refine social media updates from people at specific events they'd
like to be at like this year's Olympics, based on the user's connections on
a number of social networks, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and
LinkedIn.

 

Now, Banjo is expanding on that idea with a complete overhaul of its iPhone
and Android apps. The redesigned Banjo, which we rolled out this month,
helps users quickly discover tweets, photos and check-ins from friends and
connections anywhere in the world, rather than just the place where they are
right now. The trending places feature has been renamed "personalised
places" and highlights the most popular cities where your friends and
friends of friends are posting from at the moment. Users can also search for
any city or venue to find real-time social media updates from there.

 

Banjo has more than 3 million users and has been described by TechCrunch as
"Awesome" and CNN as "Very cool!"
