You have to "share" your trips with others- http://www.dopplr.com/account/fellows_yousee You appeared on my list, so I just reciprocated. My hunch is you need some critical mass to get a networked effect in terms of finding others, e.g. some of your contacts showed up on mine http://www.dopplr.com/account/fellows_mightknow Nancy – I’m still guesing how the connections work.

Upcoming.org does exactly what I was talking about (has conference listings and allows you socialy to find who else is going, and find new conferences based on what friends are doing). My fear with upcoming was more around the lack of traction it had. But dopplr is interesting because it is not based solely around conferences. In an ideal world one could get the confluence of both dopplr and upcoming, so that one could connect with others around events, but people not going to events could also easily suss out that you were going to be in their city and thus hook up with you. In any case, good find, I will try it out. Cheers, Scott Hey Alan, dopplr is interesting but it is kinduv different than I was talking about.

And here we have people who are so concerned about putting private information on websites in fear of 'big brother' gathering too much information. Here's this wonderful app that encourages us to do just that. BTW, love the widge, I now know when you won't be home. Just leave the key under the doormat and I'll help myself to whatever. Too funny!

It is very one to one. Dja know what I mean? Hope the run went well today. I think I’m choconancy on Dopplr

I thought it would help with intersections, but something is missing and I can’t quite put my finger on it. It is very one to one. Dja know what I mean?

Hope the run went well today.
