Quick Pitch: The Scene serves as the authority on where to go for nightlife and entertainment and connects users to the hottest people, places and events in their area.
Genius Idea: Most of us computer nerds don't get outside enough, but when we do we really know how to have a good time (think SXSW Interactive). These days we've got more than a few options when it comes to social sites dedicated to helping us stay hip to the über trendy nightlife milieu, but very few make it easy to actually spot a hot spot on the go. The Scene, an online destination for keeping up with the Jones' social life, has a pretty nifty iPhone app that can help us find fabulous bars and clubs when we're out and about.
The iPhone app uses the phone's built-in GPS to find bars, clubs, and hot spots in your immediate vicinity. It also has BrightKite-like functionality that allows you to check-in from the road, so your friends can keep up with your venue status and come join you. Also in BrightKite fashion, The Scene members can snap and tag photos on location and share them via the mobile app. Plus, you can even get a glimpse of what other nearby members are up to.
Should you want to maximize your see and be seen potential, you'll definitely want to check out the website. It helps you keep track of happy hour deals, crazy discounts, wild events, and private parties for your favorite nightlife escapes. With all the risque night club photos, there's definitely a MySpace vibe to The Scene, but the site is much easier on the eyes and great resource to maintain all the perfect party lifestyle with no effort required.
