Nearby (previously named WNM Live / Who's Near Me) was a location-based social networking service launched in June 2010 [1] and discontinued in September 2021 following a significant data breach.[2] The service was created by Brian Hamachek and was known for leveraging the GPS technology in mobile devices to help users discover and interact with others located nearby, although explicitly not intended for dating, dating was the primary use case for the app.[3]
