Startup Weekly Presents: Your Social North Star, Wendr @ SXSW 2012

For you socially mobile people, knowing what your friends are doing tonight, or letting them know what you’re doing, is most important. Now, rather than texting, tweeting or Facebooking, there’s Wendr. As the website says, it “makes it easy to find out what your friends are doing and access nighttime events and activities.” You not only control you plans, letting people know what you’re doing, but also who gets to know, based on a visibility setting. And you color-code your “availability” to your friends; green you’re going out, red you’re staying in and orange means you are open to suggestions.
