In 1987, Sting sang, “I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien – I’m an Englishman in New York” and those words still resonate! Moving to a new place can, indeed, make you feel like an alien. But that’s about to change thanks to OOt Social.
Last year I started doing the digital nomad thing and I moved to Lisbon. It's a beautiful city and the people are really friendly but, being an alien in a country where I didn't speak the language, I found it hard to make friends.
I'm not on Facebook, so I did the only thing I could:
I stood on the street and started shouting what I ate, drank, and where I was going.
So far, I've got three followers: two cops and a shrink.

OOt Social introduces an innovative and interactive live social map experience. The map shows live events and active hangout spots in the neighborhood. If you're a newcomer, an expat, or a tourist, you can easily explore the local area and connect with people who share the same interests.
“OOt Social is the first map platform to show live data based on community preferences, empowering users through community engagement, while supporting the growth of local restaurants,” explained a company representative. “Our live map connects users to what's happening now, whether it's happy hour or a community gathering.”
You can join over 80 communities spread across four categories: Sport & Gaming, Music & Entertainment, Lifestyle & Culture, and Food & Cousine. Join as many as you like and get live recommendations on OOt's innovative social map.
The OOt Social app is now available in Austin’s popular Downtown hangout spot, the Warehouse District. You can find everything you need here - whether you want to explore the cuisine or attend concerts. With lots of trendy restaurants which serve international cuisine, including French comfort food and Italian delicacies, foodies will love exploring the Warehouse District. If what you're after is an unforgettable nightlife scene, you will be spoiled for choice. From stylish cocktail bars and gay nightclubs to cozy jazz and hip-hop venues, this part of Austin has something for every night owl out there.
And the easiest way to find all events and social hubs is OOt Social! Based on the communities you join, the map will display the happenings across the Warehouse District that you may be interested in attending. You will also see a list of attendees so you can meet new friends who like the same music, food, sports, or activities.
The team behind OOt Social believes that social apps should encourage people to go out and be social. As such, the app is designed to encourage social activities IRL by rewarding you with OOtchievements. So join one of the popular OOt activities such as arcade games, karaoke, and picnics.
At the moment you can use the app in Austin, Miami, and Toronto - but the company has plans to expand coverage across Canada and the US. The OOt team is also working on some new features, including editable user profiles and a search tool.
Whether you're looking to meet new people or find live music events, OOt Social will point you in the right direction!
