Mobile Named One of World’s “Super Cool” Communities

Oct 12th, 2012

Mobile is one of the world’s “super cool” cities, according to a new Web site that connects people to great communities across the world to which to travel or move.

TravelOrMove.com today unveiled Mobile as part of an exclusive list of five dozen of the best places in the world to travel or move as it launched its new Web travel site.

“Mobile is a natural to be on any list of the world’s super cool communities,” said founder Andy Brack of Charleston, S.C. “With its great Gulf seafood, relaxed coastal lifestyle and historic Mardi Gras, how could we not rank the hometown of Henry Aaron on our list?”

TravelOrMove.com offers detailed information on each community that it profiles, including demographic information, a map, several fun facts and links to local media. The site also features distinguishing economic, political, cultural and other characteristics of the community.

Among the fun facts detailed on the site is this entry: “U.S. Navy Admiral David Farragut famously issued the command ‘Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead’ at the battle of Mobile Bay on Aug. 5, 1864.”

Cool tool: The Mobile page is frequently updated through a special Twitter feature that links tweets marked #TOMMobile to the page.

“This initial release barely scratches the surface with Twitter and our community hashtagging,” said Ric Castagna, TravelOrMove.com’s chief technology officer. “For geeks, TravelOrMove.com is embracing new releases of technology, including interactions with social media,” It will always be evolving and adapting. It will always be super cool!”

The site allows users to pick different characteristics for an ideal community and find which of TravelOrMove.com’s super cool places is the best match.
