We’re pleased to announce today that Unlike just got a bit smarter to where you are, when you are, if you’ll forgive our pidgin English.

Why? We’ve teamed up with our friends over Berlin-based Plazes, which allows you to map out where you’re going—and have your friends meet you there. In their own words, “Plazes is a location-aware service, connecting you with the people and places in your vicinity and all over the world.” So kindred spirits, if you will: Even our headquarters are just ‘round the block from each other in Berlin-Mitte.



So how does this work, exactly? It’s pretty simple to use – sign up for a Plazes account, and when browsing through berlin.unlike.net, click on the “Plaze me here” icon on the right hand side of the description.
All of your contacts on Plazes will be automatically informed as to your whereabouts, saving you from sending pricey text messages or dealing with the “the-music-is-too-loud-whaaat??”-conversations that are bound to happen when late-night reveling.

As the city celebrates its third annual Fashion Week, we at unlike.net thought it might be a good time to share where we’ll be this week …

If you missed the supreme, rain-soaked Radiohead concert last Tuesday, worry not— one half of the opening act Modeselektor takes over the decks at Tresor on the 23rd, while old skool-legends Fetisch & DJ Kaos flex their muscles at Scala saturday night. So get on out there and be seen. ALL SHOWS. ALL COLORS. ALL GOSSIP. ALL ACCESS.

But hey – if you´re tired of glam bam fashion jam, escape to one of these fine and recommended Berlin beauties …

Dr PONG Rugged little dingy bar in the heart of Prenzlauerberg. Looks like a teenage clubhouse with its minimal decor…

TENTSTATION This campsite in the center of Berlin is surrounded by mother nature, but a mere 5 minutes walk from Berlin Hbf station. This is urban adventure at a literally grass roots level…

MOVIEMENTO When this Kreuzberg theater opened in 1907 (as the Vitascope), cinema was in its infancy and Berlin was one of the new media production centers. Classic and contemporary films daily here…

COMPUTER GAMES MUSEUM Quite possibly the only museum dedicated to computer games in Germany. Opened a permanent collection in 1997, but downsized to temporary exhibitions and events by 2000 …
