850 technologists gather at Skirball on the first Tuesday of the month. Bob is running late (stuck at a meeting) and is planning on meeting up with colleagues already seated. Bob walks aimlessly up and down the aisles looking for his colleagues who eventually see him first and wave and shout to get his attention.

What if Bob could have pulled up an app on his iphone, and see exactly where his colleagues were sitting so he can easily slip into his saved seat without anyone noticing he was late?

At the same conference Tina is excited about her new e-commerce site which has been growing at a steady clip for the last 4 months. She is a recent grad and isn’t very well connected in the tech or investment community. She is however, connected to her iPhone where she pulls up an app and is directed to the exact locations of potential partners, investors, and employees based on their check-in and integration with social media profiles. When Nate Westheimer announces the ‘turn to your neighbor’ portion of the night, Tina is prepared to connect and pitch.

I’m Sitting Here is a web and mobile application that takes Geo-mobile (ie- FourSquare, GoWalla, Places) one level deeper and enables users the ability to check-in to their exact seat at conferences, entertainment events, restaurants, and offices. Integrations into Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn make I’m Sitting Here the ultimate social and business networking tool for those on the go.

Web and mobile (iPhone/droid) front and back-end developers are critical to take this concept from idea to the app store. We can’t do this without you. Other Startup Weekend participants are welcome to join the team. I’m looking forward to working on a great project over the next 3 days.
