There was an app in 2007 called Dopplr. [1] It was part of the wave of new social networks that were to (and did) change how we use software. It was actually really useful and I met many people through it that I never would have otherwise. I count many of them as friends to this day. "meeting random people and being curious about them and become friends" is a bit of a superpower in your 20s IMO. It's something I, usually by choice of venue (sleep early, eat properly, etc), don't do any more. It happens a bit with friends-of-your-kids when you get to that stage of life, but the factors of who they are become much more constrained to certain things like schools, neighbourhoods, programs, etc. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopplr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopplr
