Hello Tay-ers:
I'm working on a new web/mobile platform designed for people who do fitness activities with friends and in groups.
All of the existing options (Strava, Runkeeper, etc.) are based on the notion that people want to compare and compete based on their performance data (speed, pace, distance, etc.) I think that is true for some people, but...
I think there is another group of people who would prefer a platform that is focused more on the social aspects of their fitness experiences (skiing + microbrews anyone?), or do activities like backcountry skiing that require a group...
I am particularly interested in getting feedback from the TAY community for a couple reasons:
1. TAY is using ancient technology...though is one of the strongest social fitness communities I know of...
2. I wonder about the boundaries of the solution I'm thinking of...might be great for cyclists and runners, but what about backcountry skiing enthusiasts?
3. Most of us do more than one sport. Wouldn't it be cool to see all of your fitness friends' activities in one place? TAY is a complete silo...maybe it should be that way, but I would love to see the activities of my TAY friends alongside the activities of my running and cycling friends...
I would appreciate it if you would spend a few minutes taking this survey:

And I would also appreciate it if you would pass it along to folks in your fitness networks.
Thanks!
