8 Offline issues with online solutions, further flushed out
1- How can I find new dives?
- sorting method -> what are you looking for?
- select search mode
- NEAR ME: enter current location, pull up map, select location, get directions
- CHEAP DRINKS: enter current location, get list of five cheapest locations within
15 miles of you. View dive profile w/ list of nightly specials. select location,
get directions
-LIKE PLACES YOU ALREADY LIKE: over the course of your dive experiences
you can rate and “like” a dive. When you go to find a new place, you can
view a list of dives other people have “liked” based on the shared dives
you have in common. You can then view personal profiles to view all
locations that they “like,” their ratings/reviews, and their level of trustability
2- How can I find people to hang out with?
-find people near you: Log into dive GPS, see digital pings of other people that are out at dives
(ability to sort via strangers or friends or both)
-Message Board: Log in, view a live-feed message board (sort by either strangers or friends)
and see their updates “Going to Gusto in ten minutes,” or “This place is awesome, come
join!”
- Send out invites to friends: Log in, enter your own message-board feed or message all friends
“Gusto is cool, you should come join!”
3- How can I make a collective schedule for myself within the dive community?
Step one: Log in
Then you can either:
Subscribe to Bars: for instant special schedule and show schedule updates that you can view
- night by night updates added by a dive: get an alert and you can add it to your
schedule
View Message Board: View message board updates by friends that you can add
Specific Events Added- go to dive profile, view event list, add
Example 1: “Gusto has a concert on Aug. 3” you can add it
Example 2: “Gusto has $2 draft beers every Tuesday night” you can add it once or
you can “add it on a weekly basis”
4- How can I share my dive experiences?
Step one: Log in
Then you can either:
-upload images, tag them with location and other denotations
-add a story to an experience
-sort- on dive profile, sort experiences to view other’s additions (sort by food, shows,
atmosphere, etc.)
OR
-view other’s experiences
-log into GPS, get a message asking you to confirm your location, view the dive profile
and then “view other’s experiences” which brings up photos, videos, stories, and
general history of the bar. You can sort this information based on shows, food,
regulars, service, etc.
5- How can I interact with music/live shows while at a dive?
Step one: Log in
If you’re at a live show- use your iPhone to record soundbites/video of the show you’re viewing,
then you upload them to the experiences tab on your profile or the experiences tab on a
certain dive profile. You then tag the clips however appropriate (“live show, music, dj, rock, etc.”)
If you want to add general information about a dive- you can comment on the dive’s profile
Example: This place always has a DJ on Thursday nights
Example: This place only has a jukebox
Example: This place only ever has rock bands.
Example: Sound quality of live shows suck here.
Find a dive with specific music- you can search by whatever category you’re looking for “DJ,
jukebox, rock (or other genre), etc”
Get updates on shows: The system will send you a notification
Example: Gusto will have DJ Mike DiLeo tomorrow night starting at 8!
-You will then be able to add the event to your schedule or “ignore” the update.
Create your own play list: Hear a song, enter the song on the search engine, find the one
you’re looking for, and then “add it to your jukebox” in order to create a personalized
soundtrack of the night
Record a sound clip with you’re iPhone, use it later to identify the song or use the embedded
program to recognize the song, which you can then make a note of or add it to your
jukebox
6- How do I Keep Tabs on How Much I Spend?
Step one: log in
Enter drink totals as the night goes on- the system records the amount you spend for you to view later. You can set your preferences as to how long the information is recorded.
-go to your preference's on your profile, select “keep record for one day only, keep
record for one week, one year, etc.”
Specific amount to spend:
-Enter the total you want to spend that night ($30), hit “set,” then enter each drink you spend
money on ($4, $7.40, etc.). You will get an alert when you get low on funds as well as be
able to view your remaining total at any given time.
Sync with your tab and record how much you spend
7- How Do I Know Who’s Opinion Within the Community to Trust?
Step one: log in
View some one’s profile, read the feedback they’ve left for dives, experience it yourself, then
revisit the person’s profile and “trust” what they wrote by clicking a button on their page.
OR
View a person’s profile and be able to see the number of “trusts” a user has gained
Example: Jane has 312 trusted opinions (you would know this person is some one to
rely on)
Example: Steve has 2 trust opinions (When you look at the person’s join date and see
how active they are on the site, you can use this number to determine Steve’s
trustability.
8- How Can I & How Can I Find Out if I am Supporting the Local Economy?
Step one: Log in
Go to the Local tab on the iPhone app, take a photo of your beer with your iPhone, hit “local?”
tab and it will tell you if the beer is made locally or not.
Enter the name of the beer into the “local?” search section and it will tell you where it’s made
OR
Search for a dive with the option of “local beers served only”
