I like it. It's fairly clean and simple. Did you consider making it more Web 2.0ish? I am guessing that you'll add more search features ~ like search via activity or suchlike? When you click on location maybe open a new window so I don't have to use my back button. I think it would be cool to use Google's Maps API and have a "pin" where the groups are located. And one more thing ~ maybe a link to "learn more" and then give details about Group-O-Matic.
Thanks. You mean colors, icons, and buttons aren't enough to be called Web 2.0? Just kidding--I hear you. I am looking for ways to make it more fun (a proxy for Web 2.0?) while keeping it simple.
Yes, I figured I'd hold off on search by term until there were a bit more groups, but it is definitely on the list.
I've been messing around with the Google Maps API, an am in fact using it presently to geocode cities outside the US. I like the pin idea. That would give it a more fun feel certainly.
I'm conflicted about the opening public group pages in a new window. Originally, I had it like that but I wonder if it confuses people who are used to using the back button. Jury is still out.
I certainly should have a learn more cool with screen shots, huh :)
As far as the open new window ~ I meant once you clicked on a group and are viewing the ABOUT GROUP box; if you click on location it opens up Google maps in the current window. I thought maybe the location should open in a new window. Just a thought :)
