14 DAY TRIAL // Leading North American local search and recommendation service in mobile WHERE, Inc. announced on Wednesday that users can now enjoy the WHERE experience on-line at Where.com. According to the company, mobile phone users can now discover restaurants, businesses, events, and more via their computer, while having it synced with the handset after being saved to their Placebook. In addition, the Placebook will also enable users to keep track of their favorite places and reviews, and to share them with friends on social networking sites.

Now, at Where.com anyone can see where they have been, plan where they want to go, and take it with them on their mobile phone.”
The WHERE mobile application enables users to easily discover places around them, as well as events and special offers, and the new website offers them the possibility to enjoy an enhanced experience. No matter whether one will use WHERE on a mobile phone or on the web, the same features are available, including the possibility to identify and review a place, check on places one currently visits, or discover additional places that can be visited later. The company's solutions are available for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Palm and other devices.
The new Where.com site offers users the possibility to discover, save and share places and more: - Keep track of all the places they've been to in the past, those they want to go to in the future, and their reviews with Placebook - Record their current location with Check-in - Share their WHERE activity with their social network via Facebook and Twitter - Search, discover and review local restaurants, businesses and services - View nearby concerts, sports games and other events
