I recently came across an article about a company called Pelago. They are developing a application called Whirl that allows you to download a small web app to your cel phone. Once the web app is downloaded and installed you can scan for nearby attractions, receive ongoing events, invite your friends and tag locations you've been too and if you liked them or not and get this, it's FREE..well, so they say, because nothing is actually free right. Ok, ya about that free part, here's the deal, Pelago is going to get their revenue by letting advertisers target your movements. My biggest concern here is obviously the Privacy of users. Here's their Privacy Policy, take a look for yourself and be the judge of if you want to sign up or not. I do have to admit, for someone who likes to travel and stay in touch with his friends from all over the World, this is an interesting web app I may just give a test drive and see what happens. Check back later and I'll post a blog about what I think.
