Barely two weeks after launching, Whenpages, a global time-based platform for creating, sharing and discovering events, present and in future, has attracted the attention of at least two Silicon Valley investors.
Tendai Joe, a Zimbabwean now based in South Africa, who says he has a great passion for social media and the impact of tech tools today, developed the platform.
“Whenpages focuses on publicising location events around the world. It also focuses on user-generated content that can then be shared on leading social networks like Facebook and Twitter for additional exposure and reach,” Tendai said.
Anyone can create an event for free, though the main content contributors mainly include artists, event planners, venue owners and marketing and PR companies who can choose from a selection of 18 categories in which to place their content.
The site also has a liveblogging feature for blogging as an event is takes place. This according to Tendai, will particularly work for conference organizers, journalists, PR managers and avid bloggers who might feel the need to share whatever they will be witnessing as it is the case in social media like Twitter and Facebook.
The website managed to get over 10,000 Page views within the first three days after it was launched.
Tendai says they hope to grow by up to 10 times within the next three months once they finish making necessary changes on the site.
Presently, some interesting features and functions that will maximise user experience on the platform are being added.
Mobile apps are also being developed to compliment the site as well as help users discover events on the go.
To use the platform, a user needs to register before going through a simple six-step process to upload or discover events.
