(PressReleasePoint) UK, Somerset, Frome (January 19, 2010) – Pure Midas have released to the Apple iPhone App Store a new social networking application called Cuspus. Cuspus is location based and has a number of useful benefits that includes making easy updates to Twitter and Facebook at the same time. Updates include the users current location and personal message. Cuspus also features a free instant messaging service with “push notification” for chatting with other Cuspus friends. Cuspus is free and fully featured without advertising – this is not a cut down lite application and there is no higher spec paid for version.

Cuspus is ideal for iPhone users who perhaps sometimes struggle for something to say in their Twitter and Facebook updates. There is nearly always something interesting to say about your current location and what you are doing there. To alleviate concerns about exposing location information, Cuspus allows the user to select how much detail is provided within the update message. For each update the user can easily select definable Favourite locations, such as “Home” or “Office”. Alternatively the user can select between current Street, current Town/City or just the current Country that they are in. At the touch of a button the user can choose whether the update is sent to just Twitter, just Facebook, just Cuspus friends or any combination of the three.

When you run the app, Cuspus opens up with a map zoomed to show the last update location of all of your friends and all of the favourite locations that you have defined. This provides a snapshot view of where you currently are in relation to your friends. If you are travelling then why not turn on the Auto Update feature where your changing location will be automatically updated to Twitter / Facebook every few minutes. This is a really handy way of keeping an eye on the progress of your loved-ones when they are out travelling.

The Pinpoint screen provides a radar-like view of the users location in relation to friends and favourite locations. This is particularly useful at a large outdoor event such as Glastonbury Festival, when you need to locate a friend or find your way back to your tent!

Pure Midas runs its own instant messaging service that provides free real-time direct text-based communication between two Cuspus friends. Both users have to authorise each other before they are able to chat. Using Apple’s push notification service, chat messages received will be delivered to the user’s iPhone even if Cuspus is not running at the time.
