I'm not sure if the concept is really for a single user. It's more like you get to connect with people within geographically-defined perimeters.

One obvious feature would be to provide geo fenced Wikipedia or news feed.
Like what is the highest rated/longest Wikipedia article in the area.
Or maybe what's the 3 top radio stations and a link to them.
There is plenty of local content that Google does not surface
Geo fenced Wikipedia exists already, as a number of apps are available which offer regional maps with localized Wikipedia additions, see for example https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OsmAnd
I could do that. Have additional information about the area based on the perimeter.
These are great ideas!
I am saying for it to succeed as multi-user, it needs to be useful first for a single user.
Twitter was never useful for single users.
Twitter started as an internal service for existing Odeo employees, so an unfair comparison if you're talking about cold, starting a social network. Twitter didn't start cold.
It was. Twitter used to send SMS and therefore notify others on what you're doing even without them having anything installed.
