Social Networking by WeHangHere

WeHangHere is a different kind of social networking site. It helps users hook up with like minded individuals that hit the same locations after hours. The official launch date of the service was in October 2006, and it currently has a strong hold in the European market, with a small penetration in North America. Users of the site can search for a venue based on a specific city, or venue name. Members can also search either by username, or by gender, age and town and city locations. If you have your head buried in books, or in your career, it can be quite difficult to meet up with like minded individuals that enjoy the same types of locations. Or if you don't know the locations to hit, you can browse the site looking for one that might be your style.

I wouldn't call it a dating site per say, but user profiles, or essential info as WHH calls them, consist of age, height, education, language, occupation, country, children, favorite drink, relationship, like to hang with, and looking for, as well as a list of locations the user frequents. This helps users get a better idea of what types of locations they should frequent to meet up with similar individuals. Another player in this type of market includes Meetup.com. Although it does not specifically target clubs and bars as WeHangHere tends to do.
