Do you enjoy meeting new people? Do you enjoy eating lunch? Do you enjoy eating lunch with new people you just met? If this sounds vaguely like you, then Twunch is your must-have app.

What is Twunch exactly? A combination twitter client/organizer, Twunch is lunch, though I’m pretty sure brunches and linners could be included) twitter-style.  The idea of Twunch is people casually gathering at a place to talk about the things that make them tick. The location is a restaurant where one can eat fast, cheap and without reservations. Depending on where you live, this could limit you to fast food chains; or the local restaurant that doesn’t mind a surprise influx of diners.

Via it’s app, Twunch Android lists upcoming Twunches. It shows the date, time, location and participants of each Twunch. You can join a Twunch from within the application and find the Twunch location on a map. Or if you’re feeling brave, you can “host” an event of your own by sending a tweet to @Twunch with the information.

For now, Twunch appears to be based mainly around Belgium, but hey, YOU could be the one to spread the word. You can read more about Twunch at their website or Twitter account.
