announces the availability of its network to three and a half billion people in more than two hundred countries. Limbo was among the first location-aware social networks to launch an iPhone application this July, and becomes the first to expand to international markets.

“Mobile social communities have no boundaries, and neither should Limbo,” says Limbo’s CEO Jonathon Linner. “Mobile Internet usage, text message usage and International mobile interactions are all crossing country borders while most mobile social networks remain geographically stagnant. In order for Limbo to become a part of this growing mobile landscape, we’re making our community available on an international level.”

Limbo’s expansion to these markets makes it the world’s only location-aware social network where friends can connect across the globe, jetsetters can continue location sharing when their travel takes them abroad, and mobile phone users in almost any country can now take part.

Limbo’s international growth comes just weeks after text message-based services such as Twitter and 3Jam pulled availability from international markets due to mounting text message costs. In contrast, mobile phone users from over two hundred countries can now join Limbo’s community through the Internet or mobile web to broadcast where they are and what they’re doing, socialize with other members, or play games against each other. 

The Limbo iPhone application was initially released in the US, and is now available in all 62 countries that support the iPhone. Limbo’s iPhone application can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store, and Limbo’s mobile social network features are available to anyone with a mobile phone from one of the countries listed at www.limbo.com or m.limbo.com.
