Recently, we have implemented a new target suggestion script.

With the suggest script, you can Whispurr much faster and without target mistakes!

How does it work?

The internet is one of the greatest inventions of the century.  It is a place where no individual needs a visa in order to interact and converse with one another.  Everyone is equal under its domain, and it serves as a source of democracy where truths and opinions about news and events can be freely discussed.  The internet is the one place that individuals have access to that allows them to express their thoughts and concerns without any constraints. 

Whispurr was created to further this internet democracy, and provide another channel to pure communication. 

From Turkey, to Italy, to America...

Three individuals from three differing countries have come together to create, develop, and implement a free service for the public.  Several years ago, Hakan Guzelgoz (originally from Turkey) has moved to Dublin, Ireland which is where he began a business relationship with Stefano Rocco (originally from Italy).  Guzelgoz, with a masters in applied and financial mathematics, and Rocco, with a bachelor degree in software systems, have combined their strengths in order to produce great services in their fields.  They have worked together as a team in projects prior to Whispurr, and have a friendly, professional, and constructive partnership. 

With the collective belief that a joint contribution to a project is the key to success, Guzelgoz and Rocco knew that their passion for a clean social web that respects its users was at their reach.  They believe in simple, yet sophisticated, web applications that allow the user to decide which personal features get exposed to the public.  However, only one vital aspect was missing... a web designer!

Through a referral, Guzelgoz contacted Kerem Suer (originally from Istanbul) who is located out in San Fransisco.  Suer attended Northwest Missouri State University and majored in Interactive Media Visual Design and minored in Photography.  He is a talented designer and a great communicator; Suer’s goal is to create a website design that best reflects his client’s objective. 

The three individuals work amazingly, well together, and have successfully created a mode of communication amongst individuals and groups that is easy, fast, and enjoyable...Whispurr!

Social networking sites are the new method individuals use to stay ‘in-tune’. 

Whispurr has been designed to serve as the next innovative form of social networking that establishes a communal graph where individuals, or groups, can stay connected to current trends. 

How is this network any different than those that already exist? 

Whispurr is formatted to allow conversational threads, and its users can take these conversations and forward—refer—them to others.  With the complete launch of the site, there will be four types of messages Whispurr clients can utilize: Public, Private, Friend, and Group.  Public and Private messages will serve as the first two forms that will be implemented in the initial stages of the website. 

Public messages occur when an individual, or group, ‘posts’ the information of interest onto a public server where anyone can view and respond to the posted item.  Private messages, on the other hand, occur between specific individuals.  The information in this type of message cannot be seen by the public, and is solely meant for the designated personnel. 

Whispurr executes a ‘many to many’ conversational thread that is quick and concise.  Updates and information can be exchanged between Whispurr users, but the users are also able to interact with others regarding the posted information.  Whispurr intends for its clients to rise above the shallow posting of what they were doing at 4:29 pm, and to engage others in thought provoking internet ‘conversations’. 

This site generates a new avenue to staying current on global issues and concerns.  Furthermore, this site allows organizations and groups to meet on the internet and successfully discuss issues in an organized fashion as all messages are aggregated and linked. 

If you discover something interesting and would like to forward it to friends, family, or the public, sign up with Whispurr and create a discussion regarding your interests.  Follow topics posted by other individuals, and track which topics you post receive the most attention. 

Whispurr is a free service that takes our technologically sound world one step closer to unlimited, effective, and quick communication. 

Stay current. Right here, right now.
