Rally Up is is a new kind of social network for your Real Friends – the people that actually should know your location. What differentiates Rally Up from the likes of Foursquare and Gowalla is that it has a strong focus on privacy and content sharing. Upon installing the provided app, you will be able to share your location and your content only with people that you have preconfigured before, based on how well you know them and what they mean to you.

Firstly, Rally Up allows you to only friend other people who are on using the app. And Rally Up purposely does not integrate with Twitter, with the ambition of keeping your friends more “pure.” Plus the app wants to encourage its users to use Rally Up as a microblogging application as well as a location based social network.

Moreover Rally Up allows you to share text, photos and direct message each other. The app, which is available for free (iTunes link), includes all of the features of Rally Up’s iPhone app. Using the iPhone version of Rally Up is a lot of fun – in part thanks to the application’s minimalist design – but as with so many iPad apps, the larger screen makes browsing your friends streams and looking at their locations on a large map a lot easier. However, the app allows you to push your updates to your Facebook friends, under the assumption that your social graph on Facebook will include more of your “real friends.”
For location and information can be shared users, using GetUpAndRally time, and Foursquare so there is no difference. Users can at any time by text messaging and picture positioning their message, and an invitation to the hope that friends come together gatherings; When you find a friend in the same direction, you can click on the “I’m on the way”, and then to field the real party. GetUpAndRally also offers a number of small game to encourage users to actively share the location for interaction.
