Join me on Velog
Mar 19th, 2008 | By Fredcaster | Category: Announcements
I just signed up for a new social networking site called Velog. It’s kind of like Twitter, but this one’s made especially for cyclists. The folks at Velog bill it as the worlds simplest cycling log, and say that it’s for bike commuters, roadies, mountain bikers, cyclocrossers, randonneurs, weekend warriors, and anyone and everyone with a bicycle under their butt. In short, Velog is for you. Er, us!
I just signed up and created a Velog Group for FredCast listeners. Join the group and start letting everyone know what you’re doing on your bike. Log your rides, keep track of your progress over time, and compare with your friends and other FredCast listeners.
I’ve placed a widget on the right side of thefredcast.com (just beneath my Twitter feed) so that you can see what other FredCast listeners are posting on Velog. If you join and use Velog, I’ll keep it on the site.
David,
I emailed you about a website I made in January called bikewire that does this, but offers a much more elegant setup. I posted about it on your forum too.
I was hoping you would get back to me about it. It doesn’t have status updates, but it is much more organized than that site.

Hopefully you’ll check it out. We link to your RSS on the front page.

I have been using BikeWire for the past month and a half and I have to agree with Tim here. I used to use BikeJournal but I went to BikeWire when my friends told me about it. The ride logs are better then BikeJournal and they’re free to boot. It’s just like facebook or bebo for cyclists.
