Thanks again for using Rondayvoo! This is our second monthly newsletter to let you know about all the improvements we are making to Rondayvoo. You can find this and previous newsletters published on our discussion forum where it is easy for you to comment and give your feedback.
Rondayvoo by SMS
If you update your location on Rondayvoo by SMS (just text rdv followed by your location to +447786200350), Rondayvoo will send you an SMS message when any of your friends are nearby. If you update your position from your PC using the main Rondayvoo web site Rondayvoo will send you notifications by email instead. Of course this all relies on Rondayvoo knowing your mobile phone number. If you haven't done so already make sure you update your profile to include your mobile phone number.

Internet Explorer Support
We've done a lot of testing and tweaking this month to ensure that Rondayvoo will work using Internet Explorer. Apart from a few minor formatting issues everything should now work in IE just as it does in Firefox. As an added bonus we were also able to test using Safari on the Mac. If you are an IE or a Safari user and find any issues please feel free to let us know on the discussion forum.
How "Nearby" is "Nearby" ?
If you tell Rondayvoo where you are, Rondayvoo will let you know when your friends are nearby. But what does "nearby" mean? Currently "nearby" in Rondayvoo is set to 5 miles (yes we know that some of you prefer to work in Kilometers - we'll address that later). To help illustrate this, this month we introduced the "nearby circle" to the map on your home page. Now when you tell Rondayvoo where you are you also get to see a red circle around your location and any friends that are nearby.
Earlier this month we introduced an "enhancement" that due to some immediate feedback and concerns about privacy we promptly removed! The enhancement allowed the current location of all your friends to be shown on your home page map whether they were nearby or not. The concern was that other people (in your friends list) could track you without you realizing. We take privacy very seriously here a Rondayvoo HQ so decided that the only way to come up with a solution that is acceptable to everyone is to consult our community of users. You can find more details on the discussion forum, feel free to give us your opinion by replying to the post.The Rondayvoo Challenge
Last month we challenged you all to invite 5 friends, family members or colleagues to join Rondayvoo. So how did you do? The more friends you have on Rondayvoo the more opportunities you'll have to meet up with them! Why not try again this month. Inviting people to join Rondayvoo is easy, just click on the "People" tab and then "Invite your friends". You can send an invite to many friends at once as well as customizing the text of the message they receive.
Thanks again for using Rondayvoo!
Regards
Ron.
