Domo launching ‘pre-social’ mobile app ahead of SXSW

Rafe Needleman of CNET News:

Here’s what it does: It helps you find Facebook people who are near you and share your interests. The mobile app records your interests, musical tastes, work history, and so on, and then lets you find people nearby who match some or all of those categories. If you’re at SXSW and want to find someone who shares your interest in a particular musical group, Domo will help you find that person; you can message them through the app as well.

Plenty of location-based apps seem to be gearing up for this years SXSW. The two heavy hitters, Gowalla (who just launched an updated version of their Android app) and Foursquare (who just launched an updated version of their iPhone app), and a couple newcomers, EightBit and Domo.
