Dodgeball (service)

Dodgeball was a location-based social networking software provider for mobile devices. Users texted their locations to the service, which then notified them of crushes, friends, friends' friends, and interesting venues nearby. Google acquired Dodgeball in 2005 and discontinued it in 2009, replacing it with Google Latitude.
