iPling: Now an Official "Killer Startup"


The latest coverage of iPling comes from KillerStartups.com this morning. Answering the question "Why It Might Be a Killer," the blog names three areas where iPling stands out:


  • "iPling.com has an amazing graphic design, the site is very visually captivating." Kudos to our graphic designer, Houston Berry!

  • "iPling has a great concept, social networking should focus on making new connections and expanding social networks not just keeping in touch with old friends." We agree: there's so much room for innovation beyond simply putting existing web-based social networks on a mobile platform. At iPling, we're devoted to finding solutions that expand your horizons.

  • "iPling could be very popular among traveling business men and business women who spend a lot of time in new places." Yes, travel is just one area where our "Find and Be Found" application can open new opportunities to make friends and connect with people who share your interests.

After a quiet period this spring when we've been retooling our apps to make them more robust and working on a major new product line for Latin America, it's exciting to see iPling back in the news. Stay tuned, you'll be hearing more soon.
