Whistler, BC - January 12, 2011:
The executive producers of Whistler's WinterPRIDE are taking the festival to all new heights with cutting edge social media and social platforms available for their guests, from QR-Codes, Bluetooth, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube and now GuySpy.
GuySpy is the newest cross-platform, all male location-based mobile social networking tool for smart phones, including iPhone, Android, and the web. Stark Mobile Media has chosen GayWhistler's WinterPRIDE to unveil their flagship product, which allows users who download the free mobile gay dating app to find, meet and chat with "men seeking men" faster, easier and with more features than any other dating app.
GuySpy uses the latest in location-based services, such as GPS, to connect gay, bi and curious users for free live gay chat - members can find gay men by location, view profiles and photos, upload and listen to voice greetings, send and receive image files, and text chat - all for free! To make it even easier to chat with gay guys in their area, members have the option of viewing the entire community or using search filters to find only the guys that meet their criteria.
Morris Chapdelaine, Executive Editor with GuySpy said, "We are excited to be working with GayWhistler's WinterPRIDE for our product launch of GuySpy. The festival is a natural environment for us to demonstrate the power of this new cross-platform, all male location based mobile social networking tool that utilizes voice, text, mapping and images. So as guys are ripping it up on the mountain they can send messages to meet up later for events like our GuySpy Après Ski Village T-Dance on Friday, February 4th at the Whistler Conference Centre."
"Show me. Tell me. Meet me," explains Dean Nelson, Executive Producer of WinterPRIDE. "The activation goals GuySpy wants to achieve at our festival is in complete harmony with our goals in providing a safe, welcoming environment for all of our guests at the best value and best experience. We are honored that Stark Mobile Media chose us to be their launching platform."
