PARIS, February 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Facebook's Timeline, launched last September, allow people to tell the story of their lives, from past to future. What kind of music they listen to, what movies they watch and now, where they travel to. Wipolo introduces a "new kind" of social app. Bringing the "travel dimension" to Facebook, it allows people to discover and explore amazing new destinations around the world through - and with - their friends.
Watch, listen, and click the "travel" button!
Sharing music, videos and articles has been a part of social network DNA for some time now. No one thought to extend this to one of the most social activities ever: travel. No one, until now!
Wipolo has developed an app which allows users to share their travel experiences "on-the-go" with their friends. They can "plan a trip", "travel" and even indicate they are "back home".
Wipolo's platform is 100% about social travel: users can follow their friends' travel diaries in real time, explore the world and find inspiration for their upcoming trips!
Wipolo: 100% social travel
Just like a Facebook profile, Wipolo gives you access to your own "travel dashboard". Members can view and access upcoming trips, consult the most visited cities and find their favorite travel buddies.
One of the app's many strengths is that it allows users to discover new destinations through informative videos. Click on a "video" button, on Facebook, and it automatically launches a presentation of the chosen destination on Wipolo's platform.
On top of geographical and historical facts, users can find friends who have valuable tips to share or who would make fun travel buddies. Wipolo travelers can now discover destinations all over the world in one click!
