Location Sharing Landing Pages (That Aren’t Lame)

Around here we’re obsessed with creating ways to bring Whrrl users one step closer to adventures with friends in the real world.  Sharing where you are increases the odds that if someone you know is nearby they’ll see your location update and suggest a meet up.

Friends who have Whrrl receive notifications when you’re nearby based on their settings.  To reach a larger audience, you can post your location to Twitter so that friends outside of Whrrl will know where you are, too:

Location updates should be more interesting than a link that drops you in the middle of a map without much context.  Instead of linking to the Whrrl website, this lightweight landing page makes it easy to quickly build a list of places you’ve been to or want to visit.  Places surfaced in the list are based on the preferences of the person featured on the map.

    By the way, you can link your Twitter updates to your Facebook account by installing the very nifty Twitter App on Facebook.  This greatly increases the odds of finding someone to hang out with that wouldn’t otherwise happen!
