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”.
