Are you a user of Whrrl? Do you find it more appealing than another location-based social network?

Whrrl, an additional location-based social network allows you to get out from behind your computer and into the physical world, sharing recommendations of things to do, based on places you like to go and the things that interest you.

Whrrl expanded its Society Rewards Program and partnered with the top hotels, resorts, restaurant, entertainment, etc., to offer you super cool, free stuff. “For example, a tank of gas. Coinciding with the launch of Whrrl Society Rewards — a loyalty program designed to close the gap between a brand’s social media presence and real-world physical presence — Whrrl has teamed with Murphy USA to reward Whrrl members who fill up at one of its 1,100 shops. Customers that check in with Whrrl while at a Murphy location will be accepted into the “Murphy USA Society” and earn a chance to immediately win free gas.”   

There are 3,000+ Societies and growing on Whrrl. Whrrl Societies are micro communities of people who share the same interests and visit the same places. You gain membership to societies by checking in at the places you go.  But, if you don’t see one you like, you can create your own Society! You’ll find a tutorial on how to create Whrrl Societies on Whrrl.com here, and on the iPhone here. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send an email to jeanna [at] pelago [dot] com!
