Whrrl is a new mobile network that lets you aggregate information as you visit different places in life. It’s generally like a location review service that’s wrapped up in a map mashup and a social network.
If you’re on the north side of town and you’d like to find a restaurant or a local museum, you can access whrrl on your mobile and do a search based on your location. From there you can filter search results based on ratings, users, activity type, price, hours of operation, distance and neighborhood.
If you go to a location and would like to review it, you can “check in” and write your review (this is in a wiki format), give it a rating, and this is all incorporated into the Whrrl database for other users’ benefit. Add some images if you’d like. People like to look at pictures. Locations can also be bookmarked, so you can check them out the next time you’re on that side of town. If you’d really like to be kept up to date with what’s going on around you, check out your newsfeed. This consists of activity going on with your friends.
Currently, whrrl supports AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile customers in the USA, on about 10 phone models. There will also be plans for charging mobile users for use of its location-based service.
