A great one today from uLocate... Now users of the way cool WHERE
location-aware mobile application can enjoy seeing what other users are
doing.
It's interesting to see exactly WHERE people are and how they are using the WHERE LBS application. See people finding local businesses, locating a nearest Starbucks shop, using Gasbuddy to find cheap fuel, using flickpics to see photos near them etc...
WHEREVision is akin to Flickr vision, you know, a cool and engaging World map showing user icons and revealing what they are doing. Sit back, load up WHERE Vision and watch what people are doing... nice!
A great addition to what I think is definitely one of the top 5 mobile LBS applications that you can find anywhere!
What is WHERE?
WHERE™ is a location-based application chock-full of widgets that deliver essential information about what's around you. Are you looking for the hottest restaurants, jonesing for your next coffee fix, or running dangerously low on gas and need a cheap fill-up? Maybe you just want to connect with some friends. Whatever you're after, WHERE delivers the best in local information from Eventful, Yelp, GasBuddy, Zipcar, ShopLocal, Starbucks, Buddy Beacon® and more.
Recall that most recently WHERE support was added for iPhone and iPhone Touch users...
