MMEXP: Dive Hunting Brainstorming

Finding local dives is an activity/hobby that many enjoy participating in. Our demographic is fairly open. It will generally consist of young adults, aged 18-30 (possible college students), of any race or ethnic background, male or female. Since currently there lacks a unified group of individuals that participate in the exploration of local dives, we hope to help bring people together in a shared venture. We hope to help our community by creating a list of local dives with pertinent information relating to each location (address, phone number, quality of service, hours, nightly specials, calendar of events, reviews, etc.) as well as implementing a rating system that is individual driven. Individuals in our community will interact with our hub as a means of posting ratings/reviews, photos/videos of personal experiences, first impressions of the locations, etc. Away from the hub (on an iPhone/iPad) users will be able to get real-time night-by-night updates on events (such as local shows), get maps to locations, and create/access a planner of events for the near future. Individuals will also be able to rate the trustability of other users in order to filter out serious users from users of a sillier persuasion.
