After three years of serving as a guide to the world’s most loved places, Gowalla is no more. As most of you probably already know, we shut down the website a couple of weeks ago and MapMyFitness has settled in at our old offices.
My years at Gowalla were some of the best I’ve ever had and I will never forget them. In the words of Adam McManus, a friend and former colleague, “Gowalla may not have ended the way all of us would have wanted, but along the way, I worked with some of the most talented people in the world. More importantly, I am privileged to call them friends.”
A question I’ve been asked a lot over the past few months is what my plans are now that Gowalla has been *acquired* by Facebook. Well, I’m super excited to announce that I’ve accepted an offer from Spredfast, an Austin-based company providing social business software that allows organizations to manage, monitor, and measure their social media programs, and the effectiveness of each piece of content, across multiple social media channels.
I’ve been interested in Spredfast for quite some time and I’m a big fan of the work they’ve been doing. I was even more impressed after meeting the team during my interview process and at a few events during SXSW. I’m overjoyed to be joining the Spredfast social support team and can hardly wait to get started.
