Description:
WhereIsNetworks (WIN) is a Mobile Technology Firm, currently launching three websites as follows:
WhereIsMyTeen - Because parents are concerned about their kids. And, the technology is seamlessly and effortlessly integrated with the kids primary form of communication.
WhereIsMyTeam - Because one of the biggest costs for small businesses is payroll (human effort). Small business owners want to know where their employees are. For example, did that sales person visit the clients office? How many times in the past year did they visit? Were they in the office all day, or did they spend half the day on personal errands? Did they drop off that proposal to the client on time? Are they enroute to the client? Did they sit at their desk working on that critical report, or hang out at the water cooler chating with friends?
WhereIsMyPhone (beta launched (URL removed)) - This is by far the most exciting of the three websites. It combines (URL removed), (URL removed), and (URL removed) into one website by harnessing current technology advances. GPS as an "active ingredient" which brings structure to all the content. The first reason people will use this service is that "People need to share their lives". People need to establish existence. Over 240 million users shared their lives on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Blogger, and Flickr in June. With the advent of Twitter we learned that a lot of people want to share the minutia of their lives.
