On this version we have: A mobile site: http://m.weegoh.com. Updates via an IM Updates via e-mail Sign in with Twitter/Facebook

Thanks!

If you don't already have this I'd very much like a feature which would alert me to friends/family being nearby while we are travelling. Like that you could meet up for lunch in places where you'd otherwise never meet.

A proximity alert so to speak.

I think this is what you are getting at with your 'meet friends while on the go', but just to be sure...

Say you're driving from one town to another and a friend of yours is travelling a different route and you don't know about it but your paths cross +- 20 minutes or so. The application would then warn you that this is about to happen and ask if you'd like to hook up.

I'm sure it wouldn't happen very frequently but every time it did that would be a pleasant surprise.

Is that what this does ? If so then count me in !

Well that feature is not implemented yet, but we though about a proximity alert for friends nearby. Actually you'll configure your distance radius and friends you're interested in. Thanks for the comment!

needs a tour on the main page. I wouldn't sign up without knowing what exactly I can do and how.

Agree, thanks for the comment. We're working on a tour/wizard to explain the concept better.
