One of the most popular messaging service Imo has just added a new feature today that helps friends meet up. Th feature is named as People Near ME and the idea is not not a newly designed one, but still its an important addition to this popular app. The app basically works on your GPS location and when you open the page you can see other users with opened app to that page who is in a specific radius.
The feature will show profiles of nearby friends, but also of nearby users that are not in your contacts list. The developers are planning this more towards befriending people who you've met in person and just want to swap contact info, say at a concert or social event, but you could theoretically add friends and start chatting with complete strangers, if you both wish to do so. It's an interesting way to swap contact data considering the other options like using NFC, Bluetooth or something like Bump, but the final result should be same.
