Weotta全面升级  科技博客TECHCRUNCH

    Weotta升级了，不但名字变了（以前叫Weotta Go），软件也进行了重新设计。更重要的是，增加了新的时间和地点过滤器，你现在可以用Weotta来提前规划行程了。结合Weotta之前发布的一些过滤器，你能轻而易举地定制搜索结果——只需键入时间、地点、行程和约会对象即可。举例来说，你可能想查看一下，如果今晚在旧金山的米慎区约会，可以有哪些选择？或者，你可以规划一下，这周末在拉斯维加斯举办一场单身派对如何？（Weotta可以提前30天规划行程。）

Weotta improves its activity-planning app with time and place filters, plus Facebook integration [TECHCRUNCH]

    With the update, Weotta has gotten a new name (it was previously called Weotta Go) and a new design. More importantly, you can now use the app to plan activities in advance, thanks to new time and place filters. Combined with some of the filtering that Weotta already offered, it's easy to tailor your search to a number of different situations — you just enter where, when, what, and who you're planning for. In one case, you might want to look at things you can do in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood for a date tonight. In another, you could be planning for a bachelor party in Las Vegas this weekend. (The app works for dates up to 30 days ahead.)
