In case you didn’t know by now, Wikitude provides a service on their BlackBerry app which isn’t available for other platforms – BBM.  Upon opening up Wikitude, you’ll see different categories to browse including Closest, Worlds, Wikipedia, Gowalla, Flickr, YouTube, and even BBM Chat!  By clicking BBM chat, you’ll see users who are around you using augmented reality.  You can view them through your camera, or click the button up top to see users in a list.

Now if you don’t want to participate in your BBM pin going out in the open, you can have it set as Invisible in options (I think that’s what it is by default).

Either way, there’s a bunch of apps and websites out there for BBM social networking.  Wikitude gives it to you sort of by showing who’s around you with a BBM photo of the user and some basic info.  Are you tuned into it already?
