A Message from WHERE CEO Walt Doyle

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! In Boston we take St. Patty’s Day very seriously – parades, bands, bars, ballgames (Celtics of course) and much more. It’s a great excuse for everyone to come together and celebrate all aspects of city life. That’s why we chose today to launch the new Where.com and rename our company WHERE, Inc.

Our WHERE mobile product is fantastic at helping people on the go discover places and things to do. However, like all mobile services, it’s not great at helping you plan far in advance or annotate your past. We launched Where.com to help people manage “the past” and plan “the future.” All of the places you discover, rate or review on Where.com automatically synch with WHERE on your phone, making it a snap to keep track of where you have been and where you want to go.

Days like St. Patrick’s Day demonstrate how WHERE can be super useful. Today, everyone wants to grab a green pint at the best local Irish pub, but where was that great place you found last year? Or even better, the one that your friend told you about with the amazing band? If you were using WHERE and had saved these places to your Placebook, you could have easily accessed them from the Web or after you had headed out the door from your phone. Or, you could have discovered a new place with better reviews. Best part, you could have shared the location easily with your friends all at once through Facebook and Twitter.

I hope you will check out Where.com if you haven’t already, and use it to discover, save and share your favorite places. Please send us your feedback and enjoy St. Patty’s Day!!
