After a comment by @ranjitrnair on twitter we decided to implement a small addition that makes things a bit more “personal”. When you go to rendeznew the map should center based on your IP address. Hopefully some people find this useful, if not at least it is something kind of fun to make things more dynamic for the site. Take a look at it and let us know if you find any bugs with it. Thanks for reading and keep the suggestions coming and continue to meet in the middle!

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:

Lakestar Media - Rendeznew: Meeting People Made Easier

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.

Over at appuseful.com, we were added to the list of most useful web apps. They have a rating system on there site so user can tell each other how useful a web app really is. Go ahead and hit the link and let other users know how rendeznew is. Thanks for the support and thanks to appuseful.com for putting us on their site.

Over the past week rendeznew has gotten some serious buzz. I posted last week about our spot on makeuseof.com but now things are starting to balloon. Just do a search on twitter for rendeznew and you will see what we mean (rendeznew twitter search).

All the hype is stemming from our latest feature on lifehacker.com. Check out what Jason at lifehacker thinks of rendeznew:

Rendeznew Locates a Midway Point for Multiple Travelers

I am extremely proud of the fact that rendeznew has been featured on such a large site as lifehacker (one which I read regularly I must add). Not only is it great publicity for the site, but it gives us a real chance to get great feedback from people. Now, I can say that I am working hard to add a feature similar to one of our competitors out there based on all the feedback. Soon, users will be able to get the midpoint for two points along the driving path. This will be a breakthrough for rendeznew and allow everyone much more flexible and accurate results for meeting in the middle.

Thanks again for all the comments, suggestions and praise. If you see rendeznew featured on any other sites or know a site that would like to feature us, please let us know in the comments or through email. Follow us on twitter and become a facebook fan so you don’t miss any updates. Check the blog and site soon because the new version with driving direction midpoints will be up soon (I promise).
