Have your ever been to a conference and ‘bumped’? I have – and it was so much fun to quickly share information. Funnily enough this App does not seem to have taken off with educators as you might expect – didn’t bump at ISTE2010 at all! Perhaps I was in the wrong room. But ACEC2010 earlier in the year in Melbourne was very bumpy!
Bump 2.0 is now out for the iPhone, with Twitter and LinkedIn integration. Powerful!
Bump 2.0 has had a major redesign for its iPhone app, changing the look and adding some very important new features, including Twitter and LinkedIn integration, as well as unlimited photo and contact sharing.
Other major new features include a chat function that lets connected users chat after a Bump, as well as calendar feature where you can compare calendars, invite each other, and automatically save to each calendar. Adding one of these new features would be news – putting them all together basically redefines the app.
I’d like to see this being used more amongst people in the education industry.

I wonder if this would work with my husband’s phone calendar and that way he can get the up-to-date events for the family calendar. He won’t have to hand enter all the dates like I do for the family.
Bump is a great ipod touch app for use in the classroom, I’ve not tried version 2 but the first one was great for children working together, passing images to each other and collecting work.
Wow – thanks for sharing this fantastic advice on what is possible. What a great idea!
