Want An Exciting New Homepage?

It's Tuesday afternoon and we're happy to announce a brand new homepage utility from Startlike, sister company of Lifefitter. Startlike is a custom web browser start/home page that covers the outdoor activities you're passionate about. It's an extremely simple and efficient start page with basic features like, Google web search and quick links to your favorite sites. It also has cool little hotlink tags around each image that link to cool facts, maps and videos. We're really excited about these new pages, and hope everyone else will be just as enthused.

Right now Startlike is testing 3 channels (SCUBA, Skiing, Camping / Hiking) and Lifefitter is powering them all through their active lifestyle brands. Eventually every passion will have a homepage they can enjoy every day. For now all of our SCUBA, Skiing and Camping lovers can get a new Startlike page:

SCUBA Startlike
Skiing Startlike
Camping and Hiking Startlike


Let us know what you think about Startlike!

Update And A Surprise For All.

Thanks to some avid fans at Outpacker (Scott Bland in particular), I realized that there hasn't been a blog post since mid-December. Sorry about that, things in the office got hectic and crazy, but we're all still here squashing platform bugs, drinking Red Bull and eating lots of Mexican food from down the street.

Just so everyone knows what's going on: We're in the last stage of our 'in-house beta' and have a few more wrinkles to iron out before we open the flood gates.

I can give you a small peek at part of the "Places" page. On this page you'll be able to discuss trails / parks / resorts...you name it. Been somewhere amazing? Well, you can tell the world about it, share pictures, and create connections all on a single page. You might not gather a whole lot from this image but there are 3 ways to create a new place, point and click, physical address and GPS coordinates. We've tried to make it as easy as possible to add your favorite outdoor locations anywhere in the world:


This is just one piece of the puzzle, I'll show a little more later next week.

I kinda have a big surprise for everyone on Monday. It's a new utility from the Lifefitter sister company StartLike. You'll be able to dive in and Start using it Tuesday, January 27th. The utility ties in extremely well with our active lifestyles and we hope you'll love it as much as we all do. It's very slick, very useful and just plain fun! Check back Monday afternoon for the full scoop on StartLike. I promise you won't be disappointed.
