Vodacom’s The Grid is South Africa’s first location-based social network that uses your mobile to connect you with people, places and events around you. From your mobile you can see which friends are in your area, chat to people across South Africa and share photos and videos - wherever you are.

The Grid is overlayed on street maps, meaning you’re able to tag content to specific addresses, recommend venues (e.g. restaurants) and even find directions to venues recommended by others.

For your mobile, the Grid is available as a downloadable Java application or, to those without Java capabilities, a mobi site at http://wap.thegrid.co.za. There is also a full-feature website as well as a handy desktop application for when you’re stuck behind your computer at http://www.thegrid.co.za.
