We put a new Web site live recently. It's called
commutineer.com and it's a bit of
an escape from the drudgery of UK commuting.
Commuters can have conversations, share news, rant, be cool, flirt,
and stand out in the crowd. They can
form tribes around topics, stations, rail
lines and networks. And earn vitality points,
compete for top spots in the day and
the
chance to become the top commutineer.
While on the move, commuters can do most of this with text messages
from their mobile phones (standard mobile rates apply :).
It's got some ways to go and we've got lots more ideas but we
wanted to push an early cut live to get some feedback from real
users. We've been developing the functionality iteratively so there
are some 'cheap' features on the site that we'll be enriching and
improving over time.
If you commute in the uk, please join the mutiny and register to
become a
commutineer .
We'll be handing out freebies around London in the coming weeks
and we're also sponsoring
Boffoonery , a comedy event to help raise money
for
Bletchley Park , but we'd really appreciate
your help to spread the word. Tweet about it. Put it on your
Facebook profile. Please tell your friends about
commutineer and ask them to tell their friends
too. Many thanks.
You can also
follow our progress on twitter as we continue
to improve the site.
