The service is something like Foursquare combined with Facebook or some other social networking website. The website allows you to mark a point on the map where you met someone special, or where you used to live. It allows you to share the places where you met someone and engage in a discussion with anyone who might have been nearby.

All you have to do is sign up for a free account on Uencounter.me and start placing pins on encounter points. You can either drop a pin on any point on the map or enter the location details (City, State, etc.) to find the address.  Once the pin has been placed, you will be required to fill in information for the event that occurred, and it helps people discover you – and for you to discover other people.
