Description:
We've had a rush of traffic from across the web as niches have picked up our photography blogging aspects AND our app developments!

Geolocation social networks are becoming in 2010 what microblogging was in 2008 – the next big thing. Currently the space is being dominated by Foursquare, with others like Gowalla, MyTown and Loopt trailing in its wake. Facebook waded into the action in August with the release of their Places application. These early pioneers of geotagging apps and social networking easily boast daily visits in the hundreds of thousands.

And these services have one thing in common. Their utility pretty much ends at the local Starbucks, Metallica concert, or prep rally. They all ignore the great outdoors and the spots that really impress.

Offering a completely free service and a growing community of photobloggers from across the world, our network was founded for those with a thirst for the outdoors. Users create and update their own adventure photoblog, share exciting pictures of awesome places they’re checking in at, set up trips and must-see locations, and much more.

While initial capital was raised for a successful launch and the gathering of registered users, we're not at the stage of needing further funding to fully integrate several geolocational options we have planned, completing our photo gallery, and mobile app development.

Luckily with an internet business like this, the cost of entry is low, and I can make do very well with a low amount of capital. I'm a combat veteran, a student pursuing a Master's in Library Science, and passionate about this project. The potential is huge here and I have legitimate marketing 'aces up my sleeve' that will generate large amounts of traffic and registrations.

Cost of entry is pretty cheap on this one, I just need a little help to build a successful business here.

Let me know what you think! Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, it was my first!
