OlderSibling's Evolution

As the user base for OlderSibling continues to expand, we are getting more feedback from you, our users.  We have tried to add features in response to your requests such as live updating and text message alerts, and we are in the process of designing and implementing additional suggestions.

More and more people are realizing that the benefits of location services outweighs any tripedation regarding divilulging their location to software (particularly to software that take steps to ensure that the users' privacy is not breached).  As you can imagine, their are millions of ways your location, or some items' locations, could be beneficial.

So, as we grow, we remained focused on two main goals:
1. Making location based software and web services that are fun and useful.

• As mentioned other places we are working on software that will help you find the items that are most often lost like your keys, remote, or wallet, by using your smart phone.  We also have a slew of other projects that we are either building or experimenting with, like automatically turning on lights when you get home, or turning down the thermostat when nobody's in the house.

2. Keeping your location data private.

• In fact, we only use your data for two things.  We show it to you and the people who you have identified as your friends, and we use it internally to hone our location algorithms.  Other than that, we do absolutely nothing with it.  We don't sell it.  We don't even let anyone else see it.  We appreciate you using our services and we know you want your personal data kept private (as do we).

By focusing on these two goals, and by continuing to implement the excellent suggestions of our users and employees, we hope to expand our business even more in the coming months and years.
