WhosHereSocial location-based service WhosHere has closed a $1.25 million first round of funding. Offering  free SMS texting, free MMS image sending, and free VoIP calls and  four million registered users, co-founder and COO Stephen Smith calls it, “a mobile, location-aware Craigslist.” WhosHere was created by Myrete.  Jolie O’Dell has more on WhosHere at VentureBeat.

Great to see more mobile/social/dating companies getting it right.

Can you imagine how upset the mobile carriers are getting as more and more people use free texting apps and Skype or Facetime? Billions of dollars in revenue are at stake and carriers can’t be happy about free messaging apps.
