I like this trip report idea. Sorta 'Other Rough Guide...' to any place, anywhere...

I'm going to see another developer in my employ in a bit, I'll see what he thinks...

I'll post back a TR on it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

EDIT: Just to be clear, it is not my intention to poach OOT traffic and won't do anything that may be taken as this, okay? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

No, we decided against it [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] We thought it'd be too hard to get the initial interest going, and various other issues I can't remember.

We're sorta thinking a cross between a bulletin-board and a autofeed from news sites/music sites/entertainment sites/dvd sites, so each area is a bulletin board with new subjects autofeeding in for discussion (you could start your own ones too!).

Sorta cross between a news site and a discussion site...


Any opinions on that? I really can't tell... I can see it maybe being awesome, but also being a complete waste of time when no-one shows up...

Still thinking about it though, and we're not convinced by this one, so keep em coming, if you've got any [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I think the key to a winning site is a niche. I don't think your current idea has a niche unless i'm missing something, what do you think?

It's like that tucker max site, it's pretty entertaining, cause he has good stories. Now, not everyone has that many good stories (true or not remains for debate) but with the combine efforts of many people, I think a site just reading about people's funny stories could be okay.

That was my original idea with teh trip report style site. Unforuatenly, with any site, it's going to be hard to have initial intersest, thats what 90% of making a good site is about, consistency untill you get a proven audience.
