Use the Balloon tracker to see the progress of your balloons around the world. Read the tags of the people who have caught your balloon and see how far it manages to get. Scan the skies and catch the balloons of others, add your own photo and message and send it on its journey. By labeling balloons with twitter ids, users can get in touch with each other after their chance balloon encounter! Balloons! - the fun, environmentally friendly alternative to a real helium balloon launch.
'Beta testers have been really positive about Balloons! - they love the way you can connect with people on different continents completely by chance' says Dave Verwer, CTO.
