Whrrl Launches New Recommendations Engine

Pelago, the makers of Whrrl, launched a new recommendations engine for the real world. They will offer users information about new and relevant places to go and things to, based on the activity of their everyday life. It is now available on iPhone.

Whrrl previously used their location-based service as friend-finders. Now users join Societies, which are groups of people with similar interests, tastes and passions. Recommendations will appear on the homepage and are sent weekly via email.

Whrrl is also launching an integration with Facebook Places, so users can syndicate their check-in, photos and notes to their Facebook Places feed.

This new recommendations engine can be a useful tool when trying to network with people. Through updates, users can find other people in their industry and connect with them for possible job opportunities. This also shows the importance of being updated on social media technology.
