New York, NY(change city)
Weotta solves the problem of what to do tonight. It also takes the hassle out of planning it.
It's like having your own personal concierge. You tell Weotta what you have in mind - a specific neighborhood, event, mood or occasion - and Weotta does the rest, generating plans tailored for you to collaborate on with friends. Once you have settled on a plan, Weotta then makes it easier than ever to book reservations and share on Facebook.
Weotta is the first product designed around the way people actually plan their social lives. Through hundreds of interviews, we learned people want an easier way to find and organize social occasions that are relevant to them and their friends. They often have an idea of what want to do - a romantic date, a casual night out with friends in a nearby neighborhood, or a favorite band that's in town - and want fresh, new and interesting recommendations around that.
Weotta's system scours the web for events, reviews and other social information so you don’t have to. Then, it presents the information that is relevant to you - based on what you tell us, and what we learn about you over time. It's like a Pandora for your social life. Results are fast and always current, because they are generated by algorithms, not human curators.
With one button, you can turn your Weotta plan into a Facebook event.
