An app has come to Columbia’s campus that alleviates all going-out anxiety by making the entire experience transparent. With WiGo, you can post yourself as “going out” the second you leave the apartment you pre-gamed in and find out what parties are happening around campus, what everyone else is up to, or who else will be joining you for the evening.
The concept is the brainchild and extension of one of Mark Zuckerberg’s many dorm room revelations about the social experience of college: people care about going out and seeing certain people (or dodging certain ones). And downloading WiGo might mean you can say goodbye to vague text messaging or scouring 1020 for that one familiar face – just track them down on your phone!
Since we’re known for being a good time, look for Bwog on WiGo.

@stalker central! wait i don’t understand. your stalkers can see where you are and thus track you down? eek!
@Me too! I totally agree with the above comments! Let’s all start using this app and maybe it’ll get really big!! I’m definitely not being paid to say this! Great article Bwog!
@More The Merrier I feel like this is something that will be so much more fun and useful, the more people download and use it! I’ve been using it for about a week and it’s really fun! Great article!
@hmmmm i think they spelled “we” wrong
:(
@Wow “… we are committed to redefining our online presence in a way that puts the needs of Columbia University students first”. Because the best way to do so is through native advertising.
@Jake Hershman Hey – this is not native advertising. Bwog never has and never will use native advertising, content marketing, or the like. Bwog did not receive any compensation of any kind for this post.
@Really? Then do you know someone who worked on it? Because this is a shameless advertisement if I’ve ever seen one.
@Damn Stfu. They’re reporting on something they personally think is cool and found a flyer for around campus. What’s wrong with you?
@Going Out! Great App! Let’s get it more used here!!
