For instance, Try searching for #cheeseburger and you’ll see all the cheeseburger stories on Whrrl. Don’t see your favorite cheeseburger? Tell your own story! Not into cheeseburgers? Search for #beer, #coffee, or #music or any topic of interest to you. - Design: Whrrl’s new design makes it easier than ever to tell stories on the go. You’ll find the sliding trays have been replaced with easy to use tabs on the top and bottom of the screen. These tabs make it easier to find your stories, as well as your friends and their stories with just the click of a button. You’ll also have the ability to access and broadcast your past stories (even if you’re no longer there!) via Facebook and Twitter.
- Performance: Whrrl v2.2 has been optimized to launch, upload and respond faster. Recent design changes have also helped to improve performance.
