Planely have social networks that want to steal more social by letting you find out who else is on the same flight that you got a new feature called "Online Communities", which aims to make it easier for you to find the like-minded individuals.
In your profile you can now choose from a variety of community to be part of - the tech blog readers (you can mark it as the Next Web reader, for example) and loyalty systems. "Our hypothesis is that people in the same society as everyone else, by definition, has a certain something strong together and therefore share the time and is likely to be successful," says founder Nick Martin Planely.
The idea is that a simple check box to prove you're a member of a particular line, it helps others to know more about you. "Take The Next Web as an example," said Martin. "I have to know very little about a person to decide whether to spend two hours from Copenhagen to London would be a good use of my time if I know you also read TNW. They love technology? Tick. They like the Internet? Tick. A They like to consume current that get-it-blog content, preferably in the celeb-phone-hacked-away? tick. Let's do it then! I'll show you the rest of the plane. "
Although there are currently few communities listed allows users to suggest other communities who want Planely added. Planely still requires some planning on behalf of users, if you really want to sit next to matches it finds for you, but the Denmark-based startup hopes to work with airlines in the future to facilitate that .
So if you Planely user and the Web Mark Reader Next yourself on your profile and who knows, next time you fly you can chat about the latest technologies with like-minded person rather than someone who wants you 'd just put the laptop away, or IPAD.
