This is very cool. A way for me to filter by activity type would be helpful.
Re traffic, it is the lifeblood of any site. Couple thoughts:
- Buy banner or link on site(s) that attract the type of users you want.
- Submit to bloggers who'd find this cool.
- See if there's anyway you can create original content out of this and seo that. Thinking out loud here, perhaps snapshots of what happened in different areas per day, and then seo those pages. But that'll take time to start building traffic.
Yea an activity filter is one of the features and also a daily/weekly email of events happening in your area right to your inbox.
I agree on buying some eyeballs but right now I'm not plugged into this community enough to see those opportunities. I wouldn't know where to start. Like how do I find communities that revolve around solving the boredom problem, besides reddit (which I've done)/digg/4chan/etc?
For me, it's getting up early, thinking about things I'm grateful for while I drink my coffee, then working out, then meditating, then hitting the day.
One never knows. It's like predicting the stock market for the next 10 years. If you really knew, you'd not be writing articles, but making yourself wicked rich.
Anytime is a good time to be a founder. There's always a need for something better. Technology and use of technology is always evolving.
I disagree. I've taken the time to read all his blog posts, each one. I've found that level of value from his blog. What he does that's beyond most bloggers out there - he freely shares how he's screwed up, what's he's learned and is learning. The guy is smart! It's refreshing and I've learned a lot from reading his blog.
But, he is single, doesn't have kids, and has done the travel, nightclubs, sex with many women thing, so using that experience.
If one thinks about it, none of us know the final day, we just live like it's far away in never never land. In a previous career, I worked in a level one trauma ER, and in four years, watched hundreds, if not close to a thousand, people die. Makes one think. None of those people woke up that morning, got ready for work, and got in their cars thinking this'd be their last day.
So that thought went into this as well. It was an off the head list, more of how I would live, and more importantly, how I should live whether I have 35 days or 70 years left.
I'm sure if I was to do the exercise next year, there'd be new items, some from current list might go. But that's the beauty of life. We grow, we change, we evolve.
It is a good exercise for anyone to do, regardless of age and impending birthdays. I highly recommend it.
