Team Rocket Connects San Diego With New Photo Discovery App - Published on 12/02/14

Residents of greater San Diego are invited to connect with their community through Rocket, a new social network for urban discovery from Team Rocket. With the app, users can get photographic insights into what's happening in their city and where the best local hotspots are. To use Rocket, 'Rocketers' simply snap, edit, and share photos to showcase what's happening around them at any given moment. Each photo shared on Rocket is automatically displayed on a geo-targeted map.

San Diego, California - San Diego residents now have a new way to discover local hot spots and trending events in their neighborhood with Rocket, a photo-sharing social network for iPhone and iPod touch. With Rocket users can get photographic insights into what's happening in their city and where the best local hotspots are.

Whether looking for the hottest stage at a music festival or which downtown bar has the best crowd, Rocket combines photography and location services to help connect nearby users. To use Rocket, 'Rocketers' simply snap, edit, and share photos to showcase what's happening around them at any given moment.

Each photo shared on Rocket is then automatically displayed on a geo-targeted map, where the highest-rated photos have prominent placement. The app's own photo rating system gives 'rocket fuel' to well-liked photos. Higher ratings increase rocket fuel, but once a photo's fuel runs out, it's gone forever. This ephemeral nature enables Rocket to help users discover the most popular activities in their vicinity at any time.

"During my first adventure at Coachella, I wished there was a cool way to see the most popular photos from the Coachella community," says Ryan Grainger, head of Team Rocket, a small group of San Diegans who created the app as a way capture and share photos of their favorite experiences. "We created Rocket so people could discover the most exciting moments happening around them by connecting with everyone around them."

* Geographic photomap showcasing urban life in real time
