I’m going to take a one day break from working on the blog this week and see if I can’t set up an online database where people can try to connect with others while they’re traveling around the world.
I registered www.rtwconnect.com and if it works right, you will be able to search a calendar and destination to see if other travelers are there at the same time to organize a meet-up via Twitter.
I’m far from an experienced web programmer so I may need to bring in some help to make it look pretty and user friendly, but it seems like there’s a need out there for something like this. I know I’d love to connect to other travelers I’ve communicated with while I’m out on the road.
Hopefully, this will be a useful tool and a unique feature for Freedonia Post to offer.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, this project is a bit beyond me at the moment so it’ll have to wait a bit until I have time to learn more about some web programming (or bribe a friend to do it for me).
that sounds like a fabulous idea! I hope you can make it work.
I will – eventually. Even if I have to teach myself php and mysql while I’m on the road
