Using Dopplr on Facebook

@tylerwillis yes but my set of friends on Facebook >> than on Dopplr (many multiples greater in fact)

Won't someone think about the Welsh?

I find this word insulting in my native Welsh. Please consider changing your global branding thought-architecture.

Amy - just to let you know, the feature to 'Copy a trip' from someone else who you share with is live now (and has been for a little while) Just wanted to put it in this thread!

Yeah - I think we'll definitely want to do something like that.

Since DOPPLR is about travelling, I would think that the contacts page could have an travel-related focus. How about organising it by:

- Distance to you
- Frequency of contact (joint travels or visits to their home town)
- (further down the road) why not give you a rough estimate of how much it would cost to visit each contact (average/median price)

I'm thinking of something like:

----------------------------------------------------------
John Doe
Paris, 213 miles away, 2hrs by train
You haven't met John for more than 6 months
You could be there for only £76 by Eurostar
----------------------------------------------------------

That could encourage people to hook up more frequently. On the other hand, I'm not sure if this would best fit the 'Manage Contacts' page or the 'Fellow Travellers' overview.

Hello Ben! It's ok - you can say Tripit! ;-) They have a great product for working with trips once they're already booked as you say, and as you know we're really looking at helping you before that point - exploring the potential of your trip and seeing who's going to be there etc... - Our new import features might help you tie the two together in a way that works for you. One user and blogger has already posted about this: http://www.andrewferrier.com/blog/200...
Hope that helps and see you in SF!

Hi Leslie - thanks for this. We're continually looking at this area of making it ridiculously easy to start using Dopplr, but sometimes we miss the obvious! We'll get on and add this to our list of things to fix. Cheers!

MattJ replied on October 29, 2007 15:02 to the question "Is there any way to view presentation notes associated with each slide without having to scroll down to the transcript?" in SlideShare:

Rashmi - surely the notes of each slide are a 'special sort of comment' by the author - and so could be housed in a 3rd tab with the comments. This could be powerful, because it would allow users to comment on the notes content as well as the visual content?

Hi Jauder - as you know we've got output to iCal right now, but rest assured we're working hard on (multiple) easy ways to get information into Dopplr too, with export from your favourite calendaring tools being one leading scenario that's been requested by many Dopplr users. Thanks for the feedback and stay tuned...

Hi - I'm MattJ, one of the matts who works on Dopplr. We're aware of both of these issues and I'm actually working on the flow to replace (1) right now - we don't like it very much either... Thanks for your feedback! We'll send you some invites in return ;-)
