The other day I came across a new Argentina-based social network called Weegoh. It is co-founded by Ariel Barmat and Christian Hentschel, and useful for users who are passionate of sharing experiences around places.
Currently, Weegoh has a small community of users mainly from Argentina. To enable users to share their location-based experiences, Weegoh allowed users to create their own profiles, add friends or follow other people and share their activities through a Twitter-like status update, i.e. What are you doing here? For every activity you posted to Weegoh, a specific place name will be incorporated so that Weegoh makes it easy for you to connect with other people in the same area where you posted your activity.
For instance, place like Gascón 201-299, Buenos Aires, Argentina, there are 12 people (Weegoh users) there. If the Weegoh system can’t aggregate any user in the location, it will show a succinct list of Twitter users with the symbol @in the area. Also, Weegoh allows users to connect with other people in the same location and places in a simple manner through the availability of people nearby, and places nearby; two of the useful features to ensure that you don’t feel alone in the location where you are at the moment.
At its core, I think Weegoh not only want to display your personal lifestream, with all the updates you posted on your profile, it also want to integrate it with some of the popular Web services such as Facebook, Twitter and Fire Eagle. Nevertheless, as a new social network which only appeared in this year, it will be interesting to see how Weegoh grow to a huge audience in the future.
