Discover new places with Plarker
Veign:
This is a personal project of mine that I wanted to share with the DC community. Before I tell about, I'll share why I created it. I was on a weekend getaway in a new city that I had never been to before. Walking around the city I knew that friends had visited but didn't know where they had gone or restaurants they liked and would recommend. It would have been nice to know what my friends would recommend (what I consider a trusted source recommendation). This is why I created Plarker. Basically I would have a single map made up of my places and the places of the users that I am following.

mouser:
Very cool -- I love the idea.
I think we should be the first to add Plarker fields to the user profiles on the DC forum.
Veign:
Thanx mouser. I'll work with on how to accomplish this.
Also, since this is the first public beta there may be issues and growing pains so please bear with me. If you have suggestions on making it better shoot me an email.
Veign:
Ok. Been updating the site throughout the day so anyone hitting one of the quirks they should be fixed now. I also turned the image upload back on.
Veign:
Anyone else have any suggestions or comments on the site?
