Coming Updates
Hello ProjecTravelites,
In the coming weeks we’ll be opening up the site for registration – but why would you want to register for what is effectively a group of blogs? Will you see any benefits, what can or will you get out of it? These answers to your questions and more will be answered in the coming paragraphs.
What are we exactly doing that requires registration?
Simply put we’re implementing two new features. First, you’ll be able to register an update your own blog on the site. Much like on similar portals out there, but the difference here is that we’ll take your best travel stories and display them on the main page via rss feed. For those interested in city blogger however will still need to apply through traditional channels.
Secondly, we’re launching the ProjecTravel forum – a place for travellers to meet, greet, each other, talk about what’s hot in the world of travel and where to go, pass on best practice advice, etc… etc… and in true ProjecTravel spirit, you wont be bothered with all the rubbish associated with some competing sites. Just a forum, and that’s it – no clicking through 10-15 pages to get to the post that you want. No 15.000 ads or recommendations to book hotels. The information you need, provided to you directly.
Will you be going live with everything ready on day one?
As with everything we’ll be launching an early beta, most of our blogs now are physically set up and managed, and the settings for each need to be adjusted individually. Somehow, we plan to automate this process, and once we get everything going right, we will launch with the Beta Version of the blogs. The forums should launch before the blogs do and will be pretty much good to go from day one.
Why are we doing it?
Long story short we want to make the experience better on the site for everyone, and we believe that quality and easily accessible information online is pretty hard to come by so we’re moving the site forward – and well…. trying to provide a better service to all our readers.
How will this work?
We know how annoying it is signing up for another website, that’s why we’ll be letting everyone log in to the site via facebook, google, yahoo, myspace and a few other platforms. Meaning that basically if you have an e-mail account you should be able to log into ProjecTravel without so much as a worry. Hopefully this will make everyone’s experience here all the better, and hopefully will bring us a step closer to developing a platform that will be truly helpful to current and future travellers alike.
What about stuff for the future?
Well… there’s a more elaborate community portal in the works, and we’ve got a few other things in our pocket…. but a bit hush hush on those at the moment. All in all, we’re trying to make something out of nothing, and we really appreciate your support, the articles you’ve submitted and the word that you’ve spread and keep on spreading regarding ProjecTravel.com.
