My new favorite iPhone app – Bump #blogher
Let's say that you're hanging out in your office one day when all of a sudden you spy one of your oldest friends.
After a passionate kiss, you decide to exchange contact information, but you don't have any business cards.
Whatever shall you do? Don't fear, Bump is here for iPhones! Bump is a quick, easy way to share contact information with any other iPhone user with the Bump app installed. It's free, so download it, install it, and you're ready to go.
Step 1: Open Bump and either create your profile or select an existing one. Save your settings and wait for a friend to show up so you can Bump them!
Step 2: When you meet someone to Bump, just open the Bump app on your iPhone:
Step 3: Wait for the app to notify you that it's ready, then Bump with your friend:
Step 4: Confirm the transfer, and now your friend's profile is saved in your Contacts. It's that easy!
If you're going to BlogHer in four days, and you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, I want to Bump you until you're sore. Be ready.

my cell company doesn't even support the iphone. Oh, sometimes I hate living in the boonies

@thepsychobabble, only AT&T supports the iPhone.

You should have included video of all of us bumping this weekend!
Remember? Hilly and I giggled?
Reply
@Miss Britt, we were bumping like crazy. I wish I had video of it, too. That was hot.
Reply
@Miss Britt, We totally giggled like little girls. It was fun!

No bumping for me. I have a Blackberry. Which I love enough to not be envious of bumping iPhoners.
Reply
@Shelli, you should be jealous. The Blackberry has nothing on the iPhone.
Reply
@Shelli, I'm with you.

(Be careful what you ask for.)

@Poppy, I'll bump and give two-armed hugs!
Reply
@Avitable, I'm gonna be at the zoo and at the IMAX and at restaurants and partying my 35-y-o ass off in Queens/Manhattan. How are you going to give me two-armed hugs from Chicago?
Reply
@Poppy, very carefully.
Reply
@Avitable, you're going to fly in just to give me a hug?! WOOT!
Reply
@Poppy, well, that would mean visiting NYC, which I've sworn never to do!
Reply
@Avitable, you're visiting POPPY, not NYC.
Reply
@Poppy, but that means I have to enter NYC!
Reply
@Avitable, I will accept a video made on my birthday of you hugging someone who looks like me or whose name is the same as mine, then a direct look into the camera to say, "Happy Birthday, Poppy!" That works.
Reply
@Poppy, maybe I was going to do that but you ruined it so I'll have to do something else.
Reply
@Avitable, but maybe not. So I guess I see if I get anything at all. Lump of coal, I'm guessing.
@Poppy, lumps of coal can be fun too!
Reply
I command you to Bump me hard.
Reply
@Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing], ooh yeah baby.
Reply
This solves my don't have a Poken problem! I'll just say I don't want to be poked, I want to be Bumped.
Reply
@Laurin, and I shall Bump you!
Reply
Bumping crotches is NOT mandatory? You bastard. You could have told me that before.
Reply
@Faiqa, that's what you get for being so gullible.
Reply
Please tell me you do not own the rights to firecrotch.com because, my friend, that would be cybersquatting and you'll be hearing from my attorney!
Reply
@kapgar, I wish. I totally should see if it's available.
Reply
You look for any excuse to post a photo of your crotch, don't you?
Reply
@Amanda, why yes. How'd you guess?
Reply
Nice! I've now copied all of Thor's information. He's hot!
Reply
@Sybil Law, call him anytime.
Reply
This app sucks! I did just what Avitable said. I went to the app store, downloaded it, fired it up, and tapped it with my penis. But guess what? Nothing happened.
Reply
@Poppy Buxom, I'll try tapping it with my penis then.
Reply
Works on iPod Touch? Yay or nay?
Reply
@Miss Grace, I believe that it does, yes.
Reply
I'm going to download it now. My God, technology never fails to impress me, or freak me the hell out.
Reply
@Overflowing Brain (Katie), it's fun, too!
Reply
Bumping the SHIT out of you.
Reply
@Maria, I'll bump you until you're sore.
Reply
holy macaroni, is that a penis pointer I see?
Reply
@Julie, yes it is. Studies show that penises pointing to items work better than any other pointer.
Reply
@Avitable, you're joshin' me boy. but i love you for it!
Reply
Well since crotch bumping isn't mandatory, why bother?
Alas, I am technology less. I have a VIRGIN mobile phone, because um…that's the only virgin I gots, ya'll. ;D
Reply
Oh, and um, it helps that I'm not going to BlogHer either…so there's that.
Still, crotch bumping should be mandatory.
Reply
@Kris, Virgin has some good phones, too. Nothing quite like the iPhone, though.
Reply
@Avitable, Heh…I have a reallllly old one. They don't even make it anymore I don't think. It's the VOX 8610. Methinks it's time to update.
Reply
I've had the app installed since it was released because it sounded so cool. To date I have found nobody with whom I can bump. I'll be sure to bump you when I show up for Avitaween.
Reply
@Dave2, nobody? Hilly's a Bumper now, too.
Reply
@Avitable, This made me giggle.
Reply
OK. For a second there, I was going to beat your ass because I installed it and it kept crashing. So, I deleted and tried it a second time and, whaddaya know, it worked!
So, we'll be bumping ugl… iPhones in Chicago?
Reply
@Coal Miner's Granddaughter, yes. We'll be bumping pretties!
Reply
This sort of unnecessary bumping seems lewd and naughty.
Reply
@jordie, that's why I wear protection.
Reply
I must admit, I'd not heard of this app until I read it here. And I try to keep up with these things!!! As soon as I read this post (reading in bed, using my iPhone..Google Reader Mobile, natch) I downloaded the app. Then I commandeered the huz's phone so I could "bump" him in bed. Niiiiice.
Now how do we get the rest of the world to catch on?
Reply
@Christy, one blog post at a time.
Reply
Soooooo… Thor works at Bath & Body Works. Huh.
And you Sir, are the Incredible Shrinking Man.
Reply
@John, I'm actually the Incredible Shrinky Dink Man. I go into the oven and come out 50% smaller!
Reply
@Avitable, As long as the dink doesn't shrink, right? *snerk*

i read that web address as "lou be da'nus".
Reply
@Yo is Me, it's related to Lou Bega.
Reply
wooooah buddy!
I wanna be bumped
Reply
@bethie, I'll bump you next time I see you. Even if you don't have an iPhone.
Reply
I have Bump, but I won't be at BlogHer. However, I hope to attend your Halloween bash. We shall bump then.
Reply
@Amanda of Shamelessly Sassy, I hope you can attend too – did you fill out the mailing list?
Reply
@Avitable,
I think I filled it out. It was in a post, right? If not, then I may not have filled it out, because I haven't received any sort of email about it.
Reply
What an awesome little application. Too bad I don't think we will ever be in the same area to Bump. *cries*
Reply
@Daduck, never ever never?
Reply
You mean I could have bumped you in Kentucky? I'm so disappointed now.
Maybe in October instead?
Reply
@Lynda, I didn't have it on my phone then. October it is.

Okay I am coming out of hiding. I am officially deflowering myself in your comments. Fearing that I may be one of those mommy bloggers you blast I have never commented (Dear God Please Give Me Favor With Avitable). However, you and I seem to be on the same page about some things I figure I have that going for me if nothing else.
*A mental insert: Although it is totally tempting to wish for a bash post here about yourself, I could totally market an "Avitable Bashed Me and Made Me Famous" something or other.
Back to the original point of my comment. I just found out about this bumping last night. Now I feel complete and maybe a little dirty. I can be bumped and poked all weekend at BlogHer. It will be especially fun if I get to go back and blog "I was bumped by Avitable". Regardless I do so look forward to meeting you this weekend.
Reply
@Toni, I don't bash people unless they actively deserve it. Do you?
Reply
Isn't this the new trend in the UK, where they go into bushes with strangers in public parks? Chicago is so going to be full of VD after you leave.
Reply
@muskrat, that's felching.
Reply
Hmmm… I wonder if this works for the iPod Touch too…
Reply
@NYCWD, I was wondering the same thing. I would guess if you are connected to WiFi, it would work.
Reply
@NYCWD, if you actually read my post all the way through, you'd see that I said that it works with both! Damn skimmer.
Reply
@Avitable, I did read the post all the way through… but if an iPodTouch and an iPod Touch bump, how do they swap the info if there is no wi-fi? That's really what I was wondering… trying to figure out how that would work… damn not explaining reviewer!
Reply
No seriously, this made me a little wet.
Reply
@The Demigod, and hard? Or did you just pee yourself and that was it?
Reply
BRILLERZ! (And yea, I just said fucking brillerz…)
I'm downloading it now. However, I don't have a penis to tap the screen so I'm hoping a hard nipple works?
Reply
@Mrs. Flinger, that should work. You can demonstrate for me soon.
Reply
FUCK YEAH!!!!
I'm TOTES gonna bump you baby. Tomorrow. Raur.
Reply
@VDog, my crotch looks forward to it!
Reply
Unless you come here. Florida is a bit far from me when I visit my folks back home (again) in Indiana.
Reply
@Daduck, pfft – only a few scant hours.
Reply
True True, maybe we set up a bumping session in late June early July?
Reply
@Daduck, I guess I could be cool and reply to the actual thread instead of starting a new one, but alas, I am not cool.

Ever kiss a gastronomically banded bunny between the ears?
I give you permission to use that line.

Very coo! I need to get an iphone one of these days! Thor sounds like a fun guy ; )
