Tagwhat is a new app and location-based social networking service on Android and soon iPhone that mashes up personalized augmented reality experiences. Similar to Layar using the phone’s camera with geo-location, but showing your personal contacts, their comments, discussions and more. Your contacts must be both using Tagwhat and have an account to interact in augmented reality.

Tagwhat users place digital tags anywhere on the Earth, from their street corner to another continent. By simply holding up the camera view of a mobile device (iPhone or Android), geo-contextual tags from pre-selected friends and community members become visible. Walk down the street and Tagwhat reveals a wealth of relevant information, discussions, and deals — such as a coupon for a nearby establishment, a discussion thread for a meet-up with friends, and a restaurant review about a sushi place around the corner.
