theSUGGESTR Alerts – Let’s you know when you’re nearby a place you’ll love!

By admin, 14 May, 2009, 1 Comment

We recently announced our integration with FireEagle, a Yahoo! service that allows our site to know where you are. With the announcement of our new alerts feature we will email you when you are nearby any of the places that we personally suggest for you, on your wish list or on any of the custom maps we provide for your favorite TV shows. And of course you can customize how it all works.

Basically how this all works is:

1) You link your FireEagle and theSUGGESTR account (from the “Stay Connected” link).

2) You configure what events you want alerts for:

3) As your FireEagle account changes location we’ll determine if we need to let you know about a new alert. To avoid spamming you we won’t send more than 1 email a day and will only send emails when new suggestions are available.

That’s it, so imagine landing in a new city and automatically being sent a list of places you’re sure to love. Sounds good right? Well give it a shot and let us know what you think.

In the future we plan on using other location determining devices and software (GPS, Google Latitude, etc) but for now we are using FireEagle.
