Facebook Integration
I used to think that summertime was the preferable season to spread the word about everyonedelivers. Thats probably true for getting delivery people to participate. Recently I’ve been realizing that winter time with its inhospitable weather is the time to get listings.
While biking back from the market with a load of pickled goods and preserved foods I thought about how I can fairly easily get to a store under my own power with time being the only cost and how there are others who probably have a much harder time getting to the store.
Safety is a prime concern and one change that is planned for is using “nearest intersection” in place of an address on delivery listings. The exact address would be revealed to whomever accepted the delivery. Then I thought about social networks and having people you know do the delivery. That’d be a huge help in establishing trust. Taking a cue from Second Porch, what if a delivery request were advertised just to your social network? With a facebook login feature, a new delivery could ask to post the request to your newsfeed. Existing facebook friends could see the request, which could optionally stay out of the public search on the site itself.
Which leads me to another feature, having @everyonedelivrs tweet out any new public delivery lising.
