You can link straight to a pre-populated 'add trip' form with a link like this:

http://www.dopplr.com/trip/add?city=X...

where the city param is the geoname id (http://www.geonames.org/) of the city you want to add the trip to, and the start and finish dates are YYYYMMDD dates. 'note' can be anything you want to pre-populate the description field with.

All these parameters are optional - you can pass just start and finish if you want, for instance.

Can I create an event?

I'd like to be able to create an event on Dopplr that other people can say their attending, the way O'Reilly has done for their upcoming conferences (see http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/07/orei... ). Any chance that's a feature I could get access to or would be made available in the near future?

Agreed, its unbelievable...

Sadly, few care about making a difference. I am trying with my site, to hopefully solve the issues of SMS and Mobile Video streaming:



However, so far they have succeeded in sweeping my site under the rug and not even being searchable from the Rogers portal.

What we need are more Canadians to wake up and realize they are getting screwed and paying for it through the ear, and then care enough to do something about it!!!

Apparently Apple is giving Rogers some heat for hiking up the plan prices but even if they lower their $75/m plan (for 150 min.) to $60/m. It will still be too freaking expensive because you'll only get 150 minutes of talk time.

I wish they would open up the "special" rate plans. I know† that Rogers has special rate plans(open to certain individuals) for as low as $15/m for 200 minutes (add an unlimited data plan for $20 and you got a decent deal).

There is a whole movement of Rogers clients talking against the price hikes over at:

Hi James
I didn't ask "how" but indeed, Rogers is a monopoly in Canada.

Also, in my anger I misspelled "gouge". I meant gouge, not gauge. ;)

How? Easy... they are the *only* GSM provider in Canada.
