FriendZone, a suit of mobile location-based community services has been launched. FriendZone's social services include Instant Messenger and Locator (IM&L), Location-based Chat, and Anonymous IM, with supporting Privacy Management. We describe the findings of a 16 months usage survey of 40,000 users, most of them young adults.The results indicate that Anonymous IM is the most popular service, more than IM&L, with lower use of Location-based Chat that was introduced last.
