Week 1 update
February 12th, 2010
This is the end of a long week. What happened over at Whataplan HQ?
As previously blogged we’ve taken down whataplan.com and replaced it with a landing page (thanks again to Michael at The House, ) where you can still sign up for beta testing and some additional insight scoop!
On the development front, we had a first look at the website prototype and played around with some of its functionalities. It works! But we still need to add a good chunk of the components that we have in mind for you and we need to dress it up nicely. Speaking of graphics, we have a new logo. Your feedback is still welcome! We also had some discussions about how the potential landing page might look like (yellow will feature!) and have seen an excellent first draft of one of the main pages of the site. Generally, we are excited by the fact that everything is coming together and we hope to have the courage to share our work with you shortly.
Elsewhere, we have put our social media foot forward, revived the facebook group and entered the world of twitter. We hope to be able to use these channels to talk about the content that we are putting together and are relying on your help to add your own personal London favourites to the mix. Tweet as if there is no tomorrow and when you use the hashtag #whataplan we will be able to pick up your suggestions of nice places in London.
We already have 350 super plans, ranging from “Go and sit on a bench on Parliament Hill” to “Visit the London Metal Exchange open outcry trading floor”! We are now going through the exciting task of populating the content with locational details which is going to keep us busy for some time (if anyone wants to help?).
Please have a good weekend,
Alan and Matthias
