So, um, on the bloggers mailing list there was a request that we from Sun sign up with Dopplr. I went to the Dopplr site and it was yet another of these services that are so cool they don't have to explain what their purpose is. That is, there's somewhere around zero information describing what they do or why I might want to use their "service". But I signed up anyway, only to find out it's a service for sharing information about trips I'm taking. Namely, sharing that information with other people and there's a hint that by knowing about each others travels you can more easily hook up while traveling.
Having done a bit of traveling I do think it would be helpful to connect with people. Traveling alone is, sometimes, lonely.
But I don't get what the big deal is. It seems like much ado about something that's not entirely useful, and I just sent them a request to cancel my account. Seems that being so cool they don't have to explain themselves, they're also so cool you have to beg and plead to cancel the account.
