Live San Francisco Nightlife Activity

Citysense was built to show you where the action is, right now.

Using a billion points of GPS and WiFi positioning data from the last few years – plus real-time feeds – Citysense sees S.F. from above and puts the top live hotspots in your hand. You don't even need to sign up, just go to citysense.com on your BlackBerry, download, and open.

Live Overall Activity & Top Hotspots
First of all see if it's a good night to go out. The city is 21% busier than normal for right now? Let's go. But where to? Check out the top hotspots in real-time and head out.

What's at hotspot #1?
Click over to Yelp or Google and find out what's going on at the #1 hotspot: Bars? Clubs? Restaurants? Then check out what's at #2. All with one-handed navigation: no typing needed.

Show Me Where the Unusually High Activity Is
Even if you're a local, Citysense can give you the live details you need. When the Mission or Soma is busier than normal – you'll know immediately.

How does Citysense Work?
Citysense is an application that operates on the Sense Networks Macrosense platform, which analyzes massive amounts of aggregate, anonymous location data in real-time. Macrosense is already being used by business people for things like selecting store locations and understanding retail demand. But we asked ourselves: with all this real-time data, what else could we do for a city? Nightlife enhancement was the obvious answer. This release is just a test, and we're interested in your feedback on how to make the application better. You'll find a feedback button in Citysense.

What’s next?
When you use Citysense, the application learns about the kinds of places you like to go from GPS – without ever sharing that information. In its next release, Citysense will not only tell you where everyone is right now, but where everyone like YOU is right now. The application will compare your history and preferences with those of other users, and show you where you're most likely to find people with similar tastes at that moment. So each person's nightlife map will look a little different, and will display a unique top hotspot list. Cool, huh? That's why we save your location when you use Citysense: to remember what you like. Of course, you don't have to keep a personalized nightlife profile. You can delete your data from our system anytime you want. You created your data: you own it. But showing up in Chicago for the first time and seeing the top places you're likely to find people with similar tastes as yourself at midnight – that's pretty useful.

Privacy
We are serious about privacy and data ownership. Citysense already contains billions of location data points, which it uses to identify nightlife hotspots. When someone opens Citysense, the program references their current location to better understand the city's nightlife – with total anonymity. We never share your location, ever. We don't collect email addresses or phone numbers. We don't use passwords. In fact, we have a revolutionary new data ownership policy wherein people actually own any information they create. Citysense is opt-in, all the time. Anything Citysense collects, users can delete. You'll find the delete button easily accessible whenever you open the program. To read more, see our Principles.
