Dopplr, the traveler's social network, has added events. In this initial implementation you have to use one of the supplied URLs. Here are the URLs for the next six O'Reilly conferences.
If you are a Dopplr user and you click one of these events it will pre-populate the trip fields with the date, location, and a note with the event's name. After you accept the trip a badge for the event will appear on your calendar as shown in the image to the right. I like the smaller URL for these links. It will make it easier to pass around via your favorite micro-blog without running it through an URL shortening service. GetSatisfaction also used a custom short URL, http://gsfn.us, for their Overheard feature - Radar post. I wonder if this will become a trend. If so I hope monstrous-URL-creator Amazon gets the religion early. Dopplr also recently released public travel pages (mine). Each portion of the page is widgetized and can be embedded (like below). Each widget is also separately linkable like my personal velocity. These widgets really make Dopplr much more useful (as do the recently added command-line options for entering trips). If you have a public page for your users I would suggest following Dopplr's interaction design choices closely.Brady's Dopplr Raumzeitgeist(Disclosure: OATV has an investment in GetSatisfaction and in Dopplr competitor Tripit.) |
摘要：西门吹雪 您可以将活动安排加到旅行者社交网络Dopplr。 下面是六个O'Reilly会议的URL。
如果你是Dopplr用户，点击上面URL该活动的情况就会添加到你的旅行安排里，包括日期、地点以及活动的名字。当你接受了这个旅行安排它就会出现在你的日历中，就像右边的图片以一样。 我更喜欢这些短小URL的做法，你可以很容易在微博客里引用它们而无须其他URL缩短服务。GetSatisfaction在Overheard中也采用这种短URL。不知道这能否成为一种趋势。如果是这样我真希望Amazon也能借鉴一下。 Dopplr最近发布了公开旅行页功能（我的公开旅行页）。页面的每部分都是小部件，你可以在其他页面里嵌入它们（例如下面的嵌入部件）。每个小部件还可以单独链接，比如我的速度小部件。 （透漏一下：OATV投资了GetSatisfaction以及Dopplr的竞争对手Tripit。） |
Discussion
URL缩短服务是否会流行不得而知，不过像亚马逊、淘宝这样的网站的确应该有所收敛，他们简直是在滥用URL.
