[edit] Service overview
The free application was launched in July 2008 on Apple’s iTunes App Store as a geosocial networking and discovery service that allows iPhone and iPod touch users to see where they are in relation to each other.[1]. Features include being able to text message other users, see a list of nearby users, list of new users and a history list of users that have exchange messages. Now one can call via wi-fi with the iPod touch or iPhone if you have a mic. (version 2.1)
On September 23, 2008, the ability to send pictures between users was added to the application.[2][3]
WhosHere has a user base of more than 4 million and is used globally in more than 150 countries. Recently, WhosHere announced the sending of its 4 billionth free text message.[4]
