Comments on: We’ve added Groups! http://blog.tripsay.com/2008/06/24/weve-added-groups/ Life of an online travel start-up Mon, 07 Dec 2009 10:04:43 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Kristoffer Lawson http://blog.tripsay.com/2008/06/24/weve-added-groups/comment-page-1/#comment-3058 Kristoffer Lawson Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:46:14 +0000 http://blog.tripsay.com/2008/06/24/weve-added-groups/#comment-3058 I tried to comment on this earlier, but it got lost in bit heaven. Hopefully this time I'll be more lucky! Anyway, the first feeling that I had about this new feature was, "What would I need this for?". Fortunately Tuomas here put me right: he suggested I use it to mark areas of great drives for fellow Caterham 7 owners. That's a great idea! I could get people to visit the site, possibly sign up, and collect a whole database of fantastic areas to drive. However, there are a few things needed: * Would be great if I could mark actual routes, not just locations. I'm too lazy to mark the routes down myself, but I know others who would be more than happy to do this. * I should be able to post an URL to the group's locations and have them access it, whether they have signed up or not. Then they could easily join the group to add their own locations. * Should be able to see all these cool locations on a map on the group page. Anyway, I think this feature has great potential. Just needs to be handled right. With a few tweaks I'd already be posting about it :-) I tried to comment on this earlier, but it got lost in bit heaven. Hopefully this time I’ll be more lucky!
