Active Inspiration

Posted by JeremyGThomas on May 21, 2009 5:20:07 PM

During a recent meeting somebody on my team came up with the idea of pulling in "inspirational" tweets, photos, videos from around the web for a given Active topic, like marathon or 10k.  I thought it was a great idea, so we worked together to build a prototype and threw it on Labs

 

Enter Active Inspiration.  We're pulling in the latest tweets and photos about marathons, triathlons and cycling.  I suppose you could say this was also inspired by flickrvision and twittervision, except ours is meme-based and also aggregates from multiple sources (we'll be adding more soon).

 

We think there are lots of interesting things we can do with this data.  This is just the beginning.  As always, let us know what you think.

WHY DOES ACTIVE.COM FEEL IT IS OK TO STEAL MONEY & GIVE THIRD PARTY VENDORS AUTHORIZATION TO STEAL MONEY FROM YOUR MEMBERS BANK ACCOUNTS?  I SIGN UP FOR A RACE AND THE NEXT THING I KNOW magcustomerservice.com IS WIDTH DRAWING MONEY OUT OF MY ACCOUNT.  THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!  AND SINCE I AM UNABLE TO FIND A CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER ON YOU SITE I AM POSTING THIS WHERE EVER I AM ABLE TO.  SOMEONE NEEDS TO WORK ON YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE.  I FEEL VIOLATED!
