進入LobbyFriend App，用戶可以在酒店實時跟蹤周邊以及酒店內的活動信息，同時也可以向酒店的其他客人發送即時消息。
     
該軟件的聯合創始人Jason Ayoub表示“LobbyFriend是第一個臨時型社交軟件”，目前在世界范圍內已有40余家酒店正在使用，美國曼哈頓南時代廣場的溫德姆TRYP酒店名列其中。
   
LobbyFriend是各類社交軟件中的先驅，因為旅客們可以通過它在一個特定范圍內進行互聯通信。此外同類軟件如“美國維珍”允許乘客點擊進入機上娛樂系統與其他乘客互動聊天；此外還有一款InHotel軟件也是為行程中的商務旅行者們提供社交互動而量身定制的。
   
Business travel can be a lonely routine, shuttling from hotel to hotel in places where you may not know a soul. The smart phone in your pocket could be the ticket to a more social experience.
 
Enter LobbyFriend, an app that for the length of a hotel stay will enable users to get information on events near and at the property, as well as send messages to other guests.
 
"LobbyFriend is the first-ever temporary social network," co-founder Jason Ayoub says about the messaging tool used by roughly 40 hotels worldwide, including the Tryp Times Square South in Manhattan.
 
LobbyFriend is a pioneer of sorts, which has social messaging networks that allow travelers to connect within a specific space. Virgin America enables passengers to tap into its in-flight entertainment system to send texts to other fliers on board. Another app, dubbed InHotel, is being developed to focus on business travelers on the road.
