[...] The information about places is comprehensive. You can find cuisine types, prices, hours, phone numbers, websites, street addresses, ratings and reviews.

I have developed a new Wannabe Startup called ZizaZigR, with seed funding from Apple.

For the first six months we will be BETA, but if things don’t improve after that we will be WORZ.

Well, I got the idea (sort of), I see its usefulness (sort of) and I’ve even registered there (doubt I will ever use it).

But for Christ’s sake, please take out this goddamn BETA out of your logo!

would have been nice to try it, but an hour later and I still haven’t received the confirmation email with my activation code in it.

If you get a mention on Techcrunch on a Friday, you should monitor your systems ALL weekend!

Whrrl had me scratching my head when I first saw it, so after I figured it out (sort of) I made a screencast demo showing how to use it. It might help make things clearer if you’re not sure what to do with it:

Good job on the review… I “get” the ideas, which aren’t particularly new, but it’s good to see the evolution of “mobile meets social” in real time. Cheers, chrisco
