winton Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I like to have a load of projects on the go at once and one of my latest ones is a greenlane organizer. I've not nailed the details, but I want something a bit more sophisticated than having to post on a forum and asking people to come with you. I thought about making a location searchable database of drivers and allowing users to contact each other to set trips up? Pointless or useful? I know always need someone to go with as I don't know anyone else with a proper 4x4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell_ds80 Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I think its a good idea. It would make it much easier to find out whos going where. There doesnt seem to be very many greenlane trips near me. (north yorkshire) Might be wrong maybe just not looking in the correct place.

FridgeFreezer Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I think your sig gives you a clue - a twitter or facebook style app may be more appropriate / easier / more popular than having to log onto another website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, totally agree too, I hate signing up for extra stuff. Will look into using probably Facebook logins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlechorus Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I think there is certainly grounds for a facebook based style app where people can get into groups. I use facebook for all my Greenlane organising within both club and privately and for those that are on it it certainly makes things much better with diseminating information to people and communicating within the group. Personnally the one thing that maybe will hamper it is peoples differing ideas about laning and their expectations from that in both the style of lanes chosen, the amount of lanes in a day, accomodation on a trip of more than 1 day etc so there may be a need for that to be explored/noted in the system. All the best Ryck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
