First, I really like this concept! I'm hoping you guys will be able to suggest activities that are missing 1 person based on where I am and such.

I signed up and was pretty excited. But then there is only 1 activity nearby with 1 member on it (probably another HN reader). And I live in Manhattan -- I'd expect lots of activities. The biggest problem to address is the chicken&egg problem: nobody will use it if people aren't already on it. In this particular case, this means that you really have to go out of your way to organize activities. I suspect this means that you should only launch in a city you can organize a large number of activities in and then grow from there.

This is the reason why we reach out to you guys, thanks! We see our after-launch chicken-egg problem and therefore we'll change a few things to proceed with a regional focus. For the next 2 weeks we'll keep it open though to get some more feedback for the idea and product itself.
