Whereboutz enables users to input where they are and what they’re doing. An interactive map shows members where their friends are as well as any comments in terms of what they’re up to.
The user’s location can be as vague as a country, or as detailed as a street address.
Friends can send each other a “nudge”, which generates a text message to let a user know that someone is looking for him.
The application also includes a local search function that allows members to look up businesses nearby so they can suggest places to meet.
Locations and comments can also be posted directly from a cell-phone.
Whereboutz operates under the same privacy controls and protections as all Facebook applications, giving members full control over how much information is shared and who sees it.
