POIfriend enables you to find, create, comment, rate and "go" to places with GPS or printable maps and directions. You can then easily share personalized POI groups with the existing POIfriend community or those who have not visited (yet).

"The advantage POIfriend has is that you are in the driver's seat -- quite literally," says Bill McLean, co-founder, POIfriend Inc. "We often don't realize the sentimental value associated with the places important to us. Places are just places until they take on more of a personal, helpful, or intriguing aspect for us, so we've created an online community to share just that."

Since POIfriend.com is constantly updated by you, the user, the information is always current and fresh. Uploading your own POIs means that there's no limit to the groups that you can create or the friends that you can involve. POIfriend allows you to share and grow your world, on the go, all the time.

Your world, your friends, your way...POIfriend offers users numerous benefits, including:

- A one-stop shop for a broad-range of POI destinations

- Avoiding the hassles of store-locator navigation

- 100% FREE for end users

- Connect with everyone you know and those you don't (share relevant POIs)

- User-friendly compatibility (works with most portable GPS-enabled devices)

- No GPS required (map and print your POIs)

- Stripping away the techno-babble from GPS and POI data

- No bio necessary - just an email will get you started

- Users have full control over the places they wish to share

- Compelling connection between businesses and your community

"POIfriend.com is an essential tool for everyday life. It offers accessibility and sharing of your favorite shops, sporting events, restaurants, gas stations, bank machines -- whatever it is that keeps your world ticking," adds McLean.

"POIfriend takes social networking to a whole new place, or rather, places," comments Jeremy Gutsche, editor-in-chief, TrendHunter.com. "The community enables people to share favorite locations and itineraries. Once you find a POI that you want to explore, you can either print out a map or load the location directly onto your GPS."

He continues, "The POIs you share can be as simple as your favorite bookstore or cafe. Alternatively, POIs can be elaborate, like a virtual diary of your trip to the west coast or a day in the life of your favorite celeb. In short, POIfriend connects people to the personal experience of others, and that's pretty cool."

Your POI groups can include: personal trips; customized wedding lists -- including how to get to the chapel (on time!) and itineraries for all associated events; the city's best parking garages or secret spots; ATM machines (avoid banking fees!); gas stations (helpful if you use diesel or have an account with a particular company); or even customized real estate showings -- the groups are limited only by your own imagination.
