Pelago announced that its recently launched product, Whrrl v2.0, has expanded to enable virtually anyone with a mobile phone or digital camera to participate. In addition to the recently launched iPhone application, users will now be able to capture and share their real-world stories, as they happen, in the following ways:
SMS and Email: By sending simple SMS text messages, mobile phone users can join the service, create or join an existing story, and update their stories with text and photos. Photos are sent via email or MMS. See a tutorial at: http://whrrl.com/story/show/352
Digital Cameras: Through a partnership with Eye-Fi, digital camera owners can now snap, upload and share their high-quality photos directly from their camera to Whrrl v2.0 via an Eye-Fi wireless memory card. Pictures are uploaded in real-time and automatically appear in the user’s current story.
Whrrl v2.0 enables people to capture and share their real-world experiences as they happen. Through location, photos and text updates, people can easily turn everyday life moments into collaborative stories that can be remembered, organized and shared. Users have complete control over who can view their story and are given the option to broadcast each story’s unique URL as a status update on Facebook and Twitter.
