Today a new startup called FireBall launched in private beta today. FireBall works with Twitter, Google Maps, and Upcoming.org to create a on the fly interactive mobile social network based on your existing network. The service uses Twitter to determine who you are connected to and then ties you to them so that it can display where you (and they) are on a Google Map. Additional information on where you are and what you are doing is provided with the help of Upcoming.org. This is an interesting concept that represents the direction that social networking and wireless devices are headed in. This is a company to keep an eye on. The bad news is that so far it only works in the bay area right now.
