In the new york times article A social network for making future plans, it talks about a new website where you can make plans in the future. This is different because usually when you log in to Facebook or Twiter, you talk about your current plans, or plans that have been done in the past. With WhereBerry, you can share your future plans. Its actually pretty easy, you log in with your Facebook information and all of your friends that are using the website will come out in your feed and they can let you know what they are planning in the future.
This is an interesting website, because all of your ideas for planning for the future can be done and maybe you can find a buddy or two to do them with. It is also a good idea, because you can see what your friends are doing, and get ideas of what you can also do with another set of friends as well. Maybe you didn’t know that the backstreet boys were going to be in town in October, but you just found out that your friend Jane bought tickets for their concert already, and now you must have a pair. This can also work with restaurants that you want to visit. When you like celebrity pages, they can let you know what they are doing in the future and maybe you can go ahead and meet them at a certain place.
omg! i logged onto this as soon as i read the post and its so interesting. i think its so cool that i can see what plans my friends have and i can link up with them. i can post things that i want to do and have my friends join in on whatever i have planned. it makes planning meetups alot easier and more convenient then sending out a whole bunch of texts. and on fb sometimes people dont see newsfeed updates and i hate making facebook event pages so i do really appreciate this page. I think it might become inconvenient though if i dont want to invite someone to an event but they see it up there so its kind of hard to deny it, this just limits privacy that i have on certain events,not to mention how they are connecting to my facebook account so easily makes me think that its really easy for new websites to get information about me through my facebook account. -_-
