Flagr: share your favorite places

Flagr, share your favourite places with your friends and family or the world from anywhere!

About Flagr
The Story

Flagr is a small web startup operating out of San Francisco, California. It was founded in late 2005 by three young entrepreneurs who shared a vision … one so strong they dropped everything (including college) to pursue it.

The Idea
The founders believed there should be an easy way for EVERYONE to share where they go, while on the go. Such a system would not be limited to use with fancy GPS-enabled mobile phones. Instead, it would rely on the already-popular text messaging infrastructure available on almost every cell phone. With such a system, users previously excluded from such services can take part in an extraordinary social experience. They can Sharewhere, anywhere.

Whether exploring new places or revisiting their favorite venues, most everyone you know is constantly exploring. Every now and again, you may hear of the travels, but more often than not, such news is lost to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Flagr changes all this by enabling you to easily keep tabs with your friends’ most current whereabouts as well as their thoughts along the way. Whether it’s a killer burrito place or a new hilarious movie that your friends stumble upon, you are in the know.
