进入LobbyFriend App，用户可以在酒店实时跟踪周边以及酒店内的活动信息，同时也可以向酒店的其他客人发送即时消息。
     
该软件的联合创始人Jason Ayoub表示“LobbyFriend是第一个临时型社交软件”，目前在世界范围内已有40余家酒店正在使用，美国曼哈顿南时代广场的温德姆TRYP酒店名列其中。
   
LobbyFriend是各类社交软件中的先驱，因为旅客们可以通过它在一个特定范围内进行互联通信。此外同类软件如“美国维珍”允许乘客点击进入机上娱乐系统与其他乘客互动聊天；此外还有一款InHotel软件也是为行程中的商务旅行者们提供社交互动而量身定制的。
   
Business travel can be a lonely routine, shuttling from hotel to hotel in places where you may not know a soul. The smart phone in your pocket could be the ticket to a more social experience.
 
Enter LobbyFriend, an app that for the length of a hotel stay will enable users to get information on events near and at the property, as well as send messages to other guests.
 
"LobbyFriend is the first-ever temporary social network," co-founder Jason Ayoub says about the messaging tool used by roughly 40 hotels worldwide, including the Tryp Times Square South in Manhattan.
 
LobbyFriend is a pioneer of sorts, which has social messaging networks that allow travelers to connect within a specific space. Virgin America enables passengers to tap into its in-flight entertainment system to send texts to other fliers on board. Another app, dubbed InHotel, is being developed to focus on business travelers on the road.
