At Optus Happy Place amidst much speculation Whirlpools Creator Simon Wright has announced there will indeed be a Whirlpool App coming.
He showed a slick looking preview version which supported whims via push notification and kept track of unread whims across the online version of Whirlpool and the iPhone. It will also feature a news section and the forums.
In broader terms he talked about how he would like to see the quality of discussion improve and that he considers the site under moderated overall.
He also showed off his new Lingopal application.

Whirlpool is over moderated as it is, with plenty of "dont dare question me or else" type bouncers around the place

Whirlpool is well moderated and more transparently than most other Forums

To quote japius: “Whirlpool is over moderated as it is, with plenty of “dont dare question me or else” type bouncers around the place”
Yes yes yes. I’m sure these pin-dick nerds would be real scary in person. Like anyone that ‘bashes’ someone online…they don’t have the guts to say it in person!!

I’ve never been a big fan of Apple but I have to admit that the iphone is quite good!
I’d like to know if this issue about the iphone 4 is important or not. I’d like to buy the new 4g and I was wondering if the calls actually drop more or not. Sorry if it’s a bit off topic 
Many thanks
