| Please give your feedback on our site www.furlango.com It is a website that lets you find events and things to do around you - concerts, shows, sporting events, devcamps, etc. Along with your comments, we would be interested in knowing about: - Do you see a use for this in your daily life? If not, is there additional/different content that will get you into using something like this? - What sort of events are you most interested in (I understand HN might not be the representative audience, but its still quite a big one in itself)? - How do you go about planning to attend events with friends (phone/IM/text/emails/facebook)? - What time frame of event search would you be interested in? This evening? Weekend? Next month? We would love to hear any other comments and feedback. (IE not supported at the moment) Thanks! |
As for your questions:
- Do you see a use for this in your daily life? If not, is there additional/different content that will get you into using something like this? Yes, but it only pulled up one concert for my area (Little Rock/Jonas Brothers, yay), and I know we've got more going on than that. So you need a little more depth on your tails before I'd start using. Probably not a problem for users in bigger markets, but still.
- What sort of events are you most interested in (I understand HN might not be the representative audience, but its still quite a big one in itself)? The only type of events I can think of off the top of my head that I'd want to search would be concerts, shows at the theater (which I frequently miss out on b/c I never think to check), and local MMA fights.
- How do you go about planning to attend events with friends (phone/IM/text/emails/facebook)? My main group of friends is stuck in the email chain loop for organizing things.
- What time frame of event search would you be interested in? This evening? Weekend? Next month? Depends. Seems like this should be a third search parameter.
Also, I know we all hate IE as web developers, but if you don't want to throw away 60-70% of your potential traffic, you MUST support IE.
Overall, nice work.
Edit: Geez, how does a guy do a single line break in a post?
