    There have been some rumors in the market that we have sold our business. These rumors are not true. Our future development plans, combined with our robust community of users, current growth rates, and the attractiveness of the travel vertical, have led to a number of strategic discussions with potential partners/acquirers, but we have not agreed to any deals and we are committed to building Where I've Been into a sustainable and profitable standalone business. We are, however, exploring all avenues to maximize the value and usefulness of our product for our user base and we expect to announce new product features/enhancements, from both internal development and through strategic business partnerships, in the weeks and months ahead.



    Many thanks for your interest in our company. – The WIB Team.

    Who let the suit in? Doesn't matter, Where I've Been is the best app on Facebook. I love bragging about my Chilean ski trip in the middle of August :)

    I was searching for 'Business Travel' at google and got this your post ('VentureBeat') in search results. Not very relevant result, but still interesting to read :)
