Thoos Manifesto
June 21st, 2006
This is more than just another website. Thoos is a new way of sharing information for outdoor athletes.
Even though a substantial portion of the site is “socially-based”, we don’t intend to compete with the thousands of other social sites on the Net. And we aren’t trying to replace every single printed guidebook on the market. We just simply want to get people out the door and putting a little bit of adventure in their lives.
- Our goal is to get you off the couch.
Find a new place or plan to attend an event or race. Set a new goal. Draw or share a map with your friends. Get the information you need to prepare for your adventures. Just get motivated, and get outside.
- Our goal is to set basic information free.
There is tons of information on the Internet regarding outdoor sports. The problem is that most of it is garbage, out-of-date, or just plain hard to find. So, we created Thoos so you can have a starting place for all your adventures. Find a new place to run, or post comments about your last ride. Share information with athletes everywhere. We also provide you with content feeds where you can list things like your favorite places, top marathons, current weather conditions, or real-time stream flow data right on your own site. And we’re free … unlike many other online sports resources.
- Our goal is to connect outdoor enthusiats with each other.
Thoos is created for outdoor athletes, by outdoor athletes. We wanted to create a way that people could meet each other in a friendly and positive environment. Find a new training partner, romance, or maybe local beta for your next great adventure. We intentionally left things a bit unstructured to people can use Thoos in a way that might best benefit them. With over 5,000 members and growing every day, I think we are on to something good here.
