New Facebook Application Launch - SwapSquare and CollegeSwap
Fast on the heels of
last month?s soft launch of the Facebook application CollegeSwap, the
technology company Whowish has announced the launch of another ?swap meet?
Facebook app called SwapSquare. Both applications enable users to swap with
each other for the products and services they need. For CollegeSwap users that
involves everything from futons, textbooks, and iPhones to math tutors and
rides home during breaks. For SwapSquare users it could include everything from
fine jewelry, snow blowers, and flat screen TVs to plumbers, painters, and
landscapers.
The new Facebook swap
applications are the brainchild of several recent college graduates. Rungrith
(Sam) Kittayapong, an alumnus of Cornell
University, is CEO of Whowish; Tanin
Na Nakorn, an alumnus of the University
of Edinburgh is Chief Technology
Officer; and Tanun Niyomjit, a graduate of Srinakharinwirot
University in Thailand, is
Chief of Product Development. The three entrepreneurs joined together to form
Whowish, a technology company dedicated
to creating innovative and useful apps for Facebook and other platforms. Later
they were joined by Nilobol Ariyamongkollert, a graduate of Thailand?s Chulalongkorn University,
who now serves as Head Programmer & Systems Analyst.
?The CollegeSwap & SwapSquare applications have been a
year in the making, and is the product of our experiences of being cash
strapped college students,? says Kittayapong, who previously developed the
patented KomShell notebook case to help
students and professionals who are always on the go. ?With these applications
users can save cash by swapping what they don?t need for what they do need.?
In addition, CollegeSwap & SwapSquare enables users to
earn extra cash. If a swap can?t be made between products or services, users can
negotiate a cash offer. Individuals who have services to sell can use the
applications to find others who need their services. CollegeSwap may retire the
once popular ride share board on college campuses, as the application makes it
easy for students without wheels to find people offering rides.
Facebook users can access both applications now by visiting
their Facebook profile pages at: http://www.facebook.com/collegeswap and
http://www.facebook.com/swapsquare.

Stay tuned for Whowish?s next application 2Meet4, which will
be launched in the coming weeks.
