Youhoo is a location-based social network for smartphones. It simply turns every public space into a living social network allowing you to socialize with those around you in different ways such as chat, statuses and check-ins. Every user profile is based on the Facebook profile of that user so you can get to know the people around you and find out whether you have interests or friends in common.
