About SquirlSquirl is a social cataloging tool that helps you catalog practically anything. It lets you organize your stuff into collections and meet others with similar interests. The idea for the site sprang from co-founder John McGrath's frustration at the lack of online cataloging options for his collection of 45rpm records. He joined forces with old friend Steve de Brun in January 2006 to build a solution, and Squirl launched that August. Kristy Dahl joined the Squirl team in October 2006. Squirl is a privately-held company based in Los Angeles, CA and Portland, ME.
This isn't the first collaboration between the Squirl founders. In 1993 Steve and John rode their bicycles from Los Angeles, CA to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina (over 7,000 miles) to raise money for development groups. Steve de Brun
