Get more from by inviting people you know to become fellowtravellers
Dopplr is a service for the smart traveller, and at its heart is the concept of travel planning andsharing plans with people you trust. Consequently, the more people you connect with on Dopplr, themore useful the service becomes.Dopplr is all about spotting the co-incidences that might otherwise be overlooked. It knows whereyou are going to be, and when; and it knows where your fellow travellers are going to be, and when.It can see those co-incidences and point them out, without individuals having to sit down andcompare notes on every single trip.So it makes sense to open up your travel planning activity to as many people as possible. Dopplr hasmade it easy to do this.The first way to add more fellow travellers is simply to invite people you already know. From youraccount home page, click "Invite", and you can fill out a simple form with the name and emailaddress of the person you wish to invite. You can add a short text note as well. This message will besent to your recipient with a confirmation link - all they need to do is click the link to start the sign-up process at Dopplr. We will automatically share your trips with that person, and ask them if they'dlike to share their trips with you.If the recipient does not wish to join Dopplr, we won't keep pestering them with reminders, andwon't keep their contact details any longer than necessary.If you would like to invite more than one person at a time, it's possible to do this too. You can sendseveral invitations at once, using the same text note for all of them.The second, and more powerful, way to add fellow travellers is by using the Find People feature onDopplr.This useful tool connects Dopplr to other social networks and web services that you might alreadyuse, including Gmail, Windows Live Mail, Yahoo! Mail, LinkedIn, Twitter, Flickr and Facebook. It canalso import contacts from your Outlook database, and contact files in Hcard format.
