Here's a fun new app that some of you might want to play around with this weekend.  'Circle' is a new twist on chat giving you geolocation information to see who around you is close by.  It goes even further though by suggesting new friends to chat with in your area based on interests and mutual friends.  Here, take a look in their promo video:

So as you can surmise, 'Circle' can be a great networking tool as well as a way to meet singles in your area.  It's a pretty straight forward app that doesn't have a lot of additional features to confuse you although it does let you alter the 'distance' that 'Circle' uses to look for friends and contacts in your group of friends.  It all starts with you importing your contact list from Facebook when signing it and it uses location and friend information to propagate and then either notify or suggest friends and new people in your area.  'Circle' features a very polished UI and it's a fun app to use when you're looking for company.  Try it at the link below.
