We made WeGlu to help friends to stick together wherever they are. We all like hanging out with our friends doing stuff and having a laugh. But we found that most social networking services were trying to get us to spend time on their website in the hope of meeting people we’d never really ever meet. So we wanted to create something that helps us stay close to our friends - the people we see all the time - because they’re the ones that will bring beer and pizza when we're skint give us a ride on their bike know the best bars in town and have the latest gossip about Amy’s rehab. We also like to live in the moment and don’t want to wait to get back to our PC's to update our profile or send messages to our friends. That’s why we built WeGlu to work on our mobile phones too.

The experience

Weglu is mobile social software to help ‘friends stick together’. Weglu brings your address book to life and allows your friends and favourite organisations to tell you what they’re doing, where they are, what they’d like to do and how they’re feeling so you can get in touch, meet up or just send them a hug.

But WeGlu does more than this. It also allows you to create and receive rich multimedia messages including sound recordings, photos, videos and weblinks that you and you’re friends can chat about on your phone or on the web.

Because WeGlu is permission-based, you choose which people and organisations can chat with you and you can block anyone who starts to abuse your trust and love. This makes WeGlu perfect for groups and organisations that really care about their fans and audiences and have good things to tell them when they are out and about.
