Here are 4 questions to Jason Aaron Founder WhatsOpen

Can you tell us more about your service ?
By using proprietary algorithms and allowing users to contribute to the site by inputting their favorite locations, WhatsOpen.com has grown a database to over 50 Million global listings. Over 1 Million of which can be found live on the California beta now.

Using algorithms for checks and balances, users can add, edit, upload, mash, share, invite, mob, and swarm to favorite locations and hot spots. An entire social platform, which currently powers the private alpha version, is being brought to the public beta in the first part of 2008.
WhatsOpen.com has key offices in Newport Beach (CA), Mountain View (CA), New York (NY), Shanghai (CHINA), and Hong Kong (CHINA).

What is your business mode l?
What we are developing, the majority of which remains in the private alpha, and where we are going with the website is new territory. Sure, there are many services that give people local data, some of which have been around for a decade. These existing websites are really going to help us get to where we are going. We don’t see the existing websites as competition, we see them all as very beneficial to our long term vision. The business model, at this point, is to continue to grow quickly and virally.

What are the projects, additional features you’re preparing ?
We have many exciting features for Google Android handsets, as well as iPhone updates coming. Our major focus for the site is mobile and global. The mobile phone is the future and every aspect of our business is built around that.
