So where are we headed?
August 23rd, 2007
That is an easy answer - beats the hell outta us.
Honestly, we are just letting this thing evolve in whatever direction the community takes it. Recently people have been posting a lot of goals and maps, but we still have a passion for creating a huge resource for outdoor athletes including free online guides, meeting place, personal log book, etc. Either way, whatever direction we take, we promise to stay true to our core members and strive to provide a great resource for outdoor athletes.
Here are a few things that we have pondered for the near future:
- Integrating more mapping functionality into our online guides
- Tools for uploading data from GPS devices into custom maps to share with friends
- Adding free elevation profiles to our mapping tools
- Increasing the number of our free online guides for people to share - right now we offer over 5,500 guides
- Add blog feeds to your user profile
- More tools to meet other outdoor athletes
- More privacy features to stay completely anonymous if you desire
- More real-time stream flow data
Then for the more distant future:
- Uploading or linking video content to online guides
- Free stream flow data feeds for your favorite streams
- Desktop widgets
- Open API for developers to use our data
Some, all, or none of these features might become a reality soon here on Thoos. Log in, stay tuned, and enjoy the ride. If you have any suggestion on what you’d like to see on Thoos, leave us a comment or drop us an email.
