Discussing Whrrl with Tim Reha of Venture All Stars
Last week Whrrl had a booth at the WTIA monthly meeting and I had the good fortune to run into Tim Reha as he was interviewing the guys from Melodeo. They’re promoting the new nuTsie music service (see their interview with Tim here).
Tim and I talked about how social discovery with Whrrl helps you find new places to visit in the real world. We also discussed privacy settings, publishing your location to Twitter, our recommendations engine, and engaging with the Whrrl user community.
Tim Reha interviews Danielle Morrill about Pelago’s Whrrl, a Mobile Social Network Application from Tim Reha on Vimeo.
At the end of the interview, Tim asks about emerging trends in location based social networks and beyond, and the broader application of “the web of the physical world”. To hear more on the ongoing instrumentation of devices with sensors (beyond location), check out Tim O’Reilly’s talk Web Meets World from Web 2.0 Expo New York.
Hey Danielle, thanks for the nuTsie shout out! I’m givin Whrrl a…well.. whirl on my phone now! Looks like u made the screenshot in the app store description- Ssweet.
Hey Jon, you’re so welcome – thanks for providing the music at the event, it was much more fun sitting there with the stereo going. I hope things are going well for you guys!
Hi Danielle,
Fun interview with you about Whrrl and Jon at the Washington Technology event. I will have to try it out on my new iPhone when I get a replacement in a few weeks!
Cheers, Tim Reha
