Whrrl Separates from the Pack By Telling Stories
Startup
Written by Efren Toscano   
Wednesday, 25 February 2009 15:47

Whrrl has hints of Brightkyte, Twitter, and many other microblogging or location based social networks.  The key as Jeff Holden (CEO of Pelago the Makers of Whrrl) explains, "is the organization of the content."  Whrrl V2.0 (Which has yet to be released to the public) threads everything and turns it into a story rather than just random blips of information.  Allowing it to be more consumable and giving the viewer ease to interact and become part of the conversation.

 

Whrrl also gives you the ability to not only show your fun adventures but helps bring your friends that are actually with you to share that adventure as well.  In-turn giving you maximum exposure.  In the case of Twiistup, 18 people where able to broadcast out to 9k+ friends and followers. You are able to relive an experience seamlessly with Whrrl's organizational help.

 

 

 

We interview CEO Jeff Holden to explain all.
