    Hi Christine,

    I've been thinking about signing up for a while, e (It's a UK company which is less common for this kind of app), but your post inspired me to take the plunge.

    It will obviously be more exciting for me to use when I do more travel and less work...

    Cheers,

    Chris

    You're review makes it sound quite useful. I find I'm not much of a 'social media' person - I still haven't found a personal use for Twitter, but I'm going to check this out! Thanks.

    Man... something else to check out.

    Also, I love Costa Rica. One of the best places on Earth. Dominical is where I eloped. I want to go back so badly.

    Christine-

    Great post! I evaluated and reviewed Dopplr when it was still in beta and I came to the conclusion that while it sounded cool, it wasn't a service I was interested in using. The reason? Its only function at the time was the ability to track who was where. And I thought: Well, I already know where people I'd like to see are.
    From your review, I can see that Dopplr has evolved considerably and I'll definitely check in on the site again. Not sold on opening yet another account though! ;)

    Yay! Just checked my profile and a bunch of people added me... it's pretty cool to see where everyone is... I'll have to post the map!

    Am I the only one that gets disheartened by yet *another* place to set up a profile and gather friends and keep track of information? Maybe I'm just getting old. ;) I recently deleted a bunch of accounts on social media sites with awful signal-to-noise ratio that were nothing but high-tech timewasters. But new ones just keep popping up! I can't keep up!

    (OK, I do sound about a hundred years old... really I'm not, just overwhelmed by trying to figure out how best to use my social networking time & resources.)

    I was actually looking for something exactly like this!! I'll also be adding a link to it on my blog but for now here are my travels on Dopplr. I added you - thanks for sharing the interesting site :)

    Dopplr looks cool, but I have will have to check it out later when I have more time.

    Don't give up on Twitter yet as it and SU are the most powerful social media tools in my book, especially for travelers.

    You have to give Twitter a little time to figure it out. You did the typical newbie thing when you recently joined, followed a ton of people who auto follow you to get your numbers up, then let go of the ones who do not follow.

    That gives you lots of peeps, but not much conversation and connection, which is the whole benefit of Twitter. I have found Twitter to be an absolutely amazing connector and I have met very powerful and dynamic people that I never would have known without it, gotten so much help, jobs, interviews and more.

    All of that in a few seconds a day as we travel the world as a family! ( Some periods I am unplugged, but twitter is also a great source for my readers to know where we are in real time and twit pics let them have a peek at the pictures and adventures coming up!)

    I joined Dopplr several months ago, but didn't start using it until today and put up a small badge on my blog.

    Just had a look at your badge, which is far longer than mine. Will be interesting to read your blog posts from all these destinations!

    Hey, this is a great post about Dopplr. Very informative--I've heard about them before, but never wanted to give them a run on it until I read your post! Thanks!
  • Jenny · 1 year ago
    I'm planning on joining it now. Nice site.
