    Hey all.

    I have recently launched a new website, this a travel website which is a social network based service. The purpose of this website is to find travel partners online to go travelling around the world with, as it appears there is a target audience (singles, widowed, travelers with no friends or friends willing to travel, ect....)

    Was just wandering if anyone had any awsome ideas on getting this website launched properly and noticed. Any website suggestions would also be cool.

    It may just be me - but it the site doesn't give you a lot of information regarding its intended use.
    Maybe add more descriptive text on the home page, or a page that provides more information about what service the site provides?
    Unless I am over-looking something, I wouldn't know that this site was a social network based service just from the text I see. I'm sure that registered users see more, but I wouldn't bother to register without knowing more first.

    I like the simple look. But I do agree it could include some more information on the home page. Such as how much your service costs, what your site is about etc.

    It seems like a cool concept. Definitely needs more content. I would also try monetizing with travel deals.

    maybe a search engine with the trravel companies like travelocity so when they do meet someone they can book right away if they wish. Also as previously mentioned some more info would be helpful even another page called what we do or about us. Very nice and simple layout and interesting concept.
