new simple yet useful feature to help meet in the middle

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

This past week we have been working to add a simple (yet useful and important) feature to rendeznew. We alluded to it in a tweet that we posted yesterday and we figured no one would be able to “find” the feature.

Now to the good part, what is new. If you take a look at the Results Link, you will notice that when a certain meeting point is selected that point will now get sent through with the link. What this means is no more telling your fellow rendezners, let’s meet at Location B, simply cut and paste the link, send it to them, and if you had Location B selected it will show it.

Here is an example of a rendeznew that our friends at Evolution of Style posted a tweet about meeting in the middle, which calls out this rendeznew results link. If you go to this link you will see that Papa’s Porch or Location G is not selected, though Evolution of Style had to call out the place to meet. Now with the new Results Link you will see that Papa’s Porch was selected when the user copied the link. Take a look at these two and compare:

Keep all the feedback coming about easier and better ways to meet in the middle. And thank you so much for the support!

some international internet press

Friday, July 24th, 2009

We have had some great internet press in the last couple months which we talked about in a couple of our past posts (lifehacker post, makeuseof post). We are so proud to be featured all over the internet, but it is also fantastic to see our site being talked about all over the globe. We pride ourselves on the fact that our service can be used internationally to meet in the middle. Over at lakestarmedia.com, they did a feature on rendeznew being used in the UK. Take a look and keep the press coming:

Thanks for all the praise and comments and we are working on a few minor and major changes which should really help you to meet in the middle that much easier.
