Google, the #global #tech giant, is planning to bring out a unique #social #networking #app called Shoelace that encourages people to do things in real life rather than connecting with others on the web through typical social networking platforms. As per the official notification, it is currently available only in #NewYorkCity and is in testing phase. Along with these geographical restrictions, the app is invite-only right now, and has partnered with select communities.
