Google-Backed Kibits Lets You Share With Real-World Micro-Networks, Raises $1M

KibitsHomeDoes the world need another mobile social app? A new startup called Kibits thinks it does, and its investors (including Google Ventures and Charles River Ventures) seem to agree.The company's iPhone (and iPod Touch) app is launching today. At first glance, it may look like another variant on group chat, but co-founder and CEO Matt Cutler says that even though he's "an active user of multiple group messaging apps," Kibits is doing something different.For one thing, it's designed to "complement real-world interactions." That means you can form groups based on things like Facebook friendships, calendar appointments, and most interestingly, physical proximity.
