This service is flat out awesome and most of us think so.
We are just trying to fine tune it and make it a success.  , not bitching, just fine tuning. I know I feel that way, as do others, with criticisms on here. Just trying to fine tune it. It will take a few weeks. WINDYMEET http://www.textmarks.com/WINDYMEET is a great place to say "heading out", etc., as Tony mentioned. People that want to hear that, can hear it on there. To repeat/summarize that which has been said by others. A time stamp on each text is a must, imo, to avoid possible confusion. Same as posting clear data, with punctuation, and being descriptive. Such as -- 14:12 @ EB. ENE 15 knots. 12 kites in sky. Skies somewhat overcast. All in all, I can't see a better service than TextMarks for kiters for getting out real time REAL (not iMight) info. I anticipate that this approach will spread quite quickly through kiting communites across the entire country once word gets out (much like Kevin Kearney's video... just not as fast and with more positive effect).   I think our little community may be one of the first working with it (maybe not.. but I think so), so we are the guinea pigs. Oinkey.

Scott-
Completely agree. Once fine tuned - I think it will be great. I appreciate you researching and finding it. Sucks the cold front stalled that was headed our way. Looks like some more humid weather and no wind next week  .Tony

Yeah, wtf! It was saying 15 a few days ago for Sunday now 5.
Now I remember why looking at FC is more pain than it's worth.  UGHHH>...OH... WTH. I went ahead and reserved this mark too, for when we start doing downwinders (hey.. it's free). http://www.textmarks.com/DOWNWINDER So, when downwinders start coming, we can use that one too... LOL.... Pretty easy to put all the outputs on one page (hyperlinked when clicked) like this example on the right. http://www.scottfears.com/

I got bored and decided to show how you could have everything (outputs from TextMark pages and forum discussions dedicated to same categories) on one page. This took less than 30 minutes.
I am sure someone will do something like this in the near future. I have zero desire to have a local forum myself, but could help someone out pretty easily. http://www.scottfears.com/index.php?...ena&Itemid=100

LOL. If the sponsored "pros" at FT didn't suck out on me so much yesterday, maybe I could afford it.
Not that I would spend money on techno geekie stuff. I just stick my finger out the window and watch the birds (like BF). Not a big fan of technology, as you know. Here's my two favorite takes on it. Last edited by Unimog Bob; 10-02-2009 at 07:49 PM.
