Nicholas Tommarello, founder and CEO of TechStars startup Sparkcloud is igniting a cultural revolution. He won’t admit that, but mark my words…

Sparkcloud is changing how we interact with each other face-to-face. In two weeks, Sparkcloud will release the iPhone application version of Sparkcloud’s Chats feature, an application that allows you to instant message people nearby using geolocation. At the end of May, Sparkcloud will debut Fate — the application that will change the state of human relationships as we know it.

This company plans to deploy several online and mobile applications to help you connect with strangers.

Sparkcloud is a website that helps you discover people nearby with similar interests. “After Friendster, there hasn’t been innovation around strangers since AIM [AOL Instant Messenger],” Tommarello told me while walking me through a sneak peek of Sparkcloud.

Sparkcloud’s “Sparks” are icons you choose to display your interests— Sparks range from “Boston” to “water,” and you can search for people with common Sparks based on location, as well. Currently, Sparkcloud is web-based only, but starting with Chats, Sparkcloud will be deploying realtime, geolocation-based products as iPhone Apps. Look for products like Open Doors, Missions, and Fate. All of these products are coming, according to Tommarello

Fate — the application we think will be a game changer in your social life — is launching at the end of May.

Each day, 12 random people near your current location will show up in your Fate feed. Pick someone you’re interested in based on their Sparks, give them the “thumbs up,” and if you receive a “thumbs up,” back, a meeting (in real life) can be easily arranged.

Fate will help you meet people with similar interests online and forge those relationships in the real world.

The last thing Tommarello wants Sparkcloud to be is creepy, so he’s implemented “Reputation,” a rating system that gives you good “karma points” based on your activity on Sparkcloud. People you interact with can rate you, (thumbs up and thumbs down) and fellow users can provide testimonials. If you’re deemed a “creep,” or have a low reputation, you’ll be kicked off the site. Sparkcloud is not the place to stalk that girl you found on Facebook and have been crushing on ever since, and Reputation will hopefully make that kind of activity difficult.

So what else does Sparkcloud’s future hold besides rolling out some serious iPhone applications?

Eventually Sparkcloud will be intergrated with Facebook and Twitter. Tommarello is hoping to create viral hype by giving users “karma points” for inviting their friends or sharing with social networks when they have a successful meeting with someone they met on Sparkcloud.

Sparkcloud also has a public API, so developers can create their own applications to make meeting strangers easier. While the API is open for outside developers, Tommarello is still struggling to find a qualified in-house Ruby on Rails (RoR) developer and even mentioned leaving Boston for California if he didn’t find one by September.

Let’s keep Sparkcloud in Boston, with location-based technology and social networking gaining popularity daily, Tommarello is ahead of the trends and is changing the way we meet people.
