San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) May 21, 2009 -- Travel technology company thumbble today announced the launch of Super twiddler, an expansion of the company's initial offering, twiddlerSF, and the latest application in its twiddler series of mobile travel guides. Unique among exploration guides as it allows users to experience cities based on their mood, timeframe and location, Super twiddler is an ideal exploration tool for frequent travelers who want to dig beneath the surface of their destinations, as well as locals looking for new and interesting things to do around town.
While twiddlerSF is focused specifically on the San Francisco Bay Area, the new Super twiddler application covers 27 major cities across the United States, and offers a new social feature allowing users to share activity results with friends. Super twiddler also showcases the newest design for the twiddler series featuring a fun-to-use spinning interface.
Now, let's say a traveler is in an unfamiliar city, is feeling 'dorky' or "thirsty" or any of the 15 moods from which they have to choose, has at least one hour to spare, and would like to walk to his or her destination. The traveler simply lets Super twiddler know his or her preferences and within minutes will be guided to a recommended, up-to-date activity, place or event that fits their disposition and timeframe. They can then email the result to friends so the user can meet them there. Super twiddler offers Google maps for every result and uses Yelp to provide reviews.
Super twiddler is the perfect travel guide for everyone, but particularly for business travelers looking for things to do between meetings, locals who want to explore their town on a lazy Sunday afternoon, or simply people with active pulses and inclinations to explore.
"The twiddler series was built to address the question, 'What can I do right here, right now?" said Christen Duong, CEO and founder of thumbble. "It's like a concierge, but for repeat travelers and locals. And because it is personalized based on a user's mood and how much time they have, it's perfect for people on the move - all in one fun little game-like app."
As part of the Super twiddler launch celebration, thumbble is offering free versions of twiddlerSF, the localized San Francisco version of twiddler, throughout the month of May. Super twiddler is available beginning today from the iPhone app store for $4.99.
