Boroughs.mobi - Version 1.1 :)

seanboy · 08-20-2007, 09:36 PM

I updated the look of the site a little. New logo (many thanks to the biffenator).

The site now features a local events search. Users can find concerts, festivals, etc, by using this feature. Local Events Search will let a user look up info on an event, the venue that the event will be held at, along with times, price (if any), and a description of the event. You can also look up info on the venue itself, along with a list of its upcoming events. You can even place a call to the venue just by clicking the phone icon.

Future plans for boroughs.mobi version 2.0 include a complete overhaul of the site (currently in PHP 5, will be completely rewritten in Ruby on Rails). I'm also looking into adding a few social networking features to it.

There's a few things that are still being worked on (the "tags" currently don't do anything

, but I'm happy about its progress nonetheless.

Lemme know what you think!

Nice local guide for mobile users, IMHO ... and great logo!

Optimize the <title> in line with its description and keywords, and then SEO ... to get a good start on that now in tracking potential visitors and traffic, etc.

Best of Luck.

I just have one thing to say about boroughs.mobi - That's hot!

Thanks alot guys. As mentioned before, there are a few loose ends to tie up with this project (In "local events" I still can't get the "tags" to work the way I want them too

). That and I need to start work on switching it over to Ruby, which requires a webhost that knows how to properly host a rails app. So far, TextDrive is the only host I've found that can do that. If anyone knows of any other good Rails hosts, let me know.

Anyways, thanks again!
