Brunch vs Penned

Proximity-based messaging for friends, family and groups

We've all been there. You find yourself downtown after work and want to know if any friends are up for getting together for dinner. But how do you do it? Do you text 10 people in a row? Do you post a question to Facebook? Neither one are really ideal. Texting limits the outcome because we generally only text our closest friends. And of course we don't post it to Facebook - it's not a message that needs to reach friends who might be on the other side of the world. Brunch is a better way -- a message board for nearby friends.
