I for one am one of those people who found the Geopherlite on itunes, downloaded it and made my way to geocaching.com. My family and I now enjoy this new hobby, that before geopherlite, we never would have done.
If you read Geopher Lites reviews you will see that a lot of them are from first time cachers trying something new. Groundspeak only benefits from this - I understand keeping the competitive edge - but being the home of geocaching, they are positioned to win either way. It's disaappointing to see the little guy drum up interest and get shut out.
It would be great to hear Groundspeak's view on this. It is obvious that Geopher is an avid supporter of Geocaching, sending newbies their way. It does kind of tick me off that Groundspeak has stonewalled the author. If you read his comments on his blog he is very humble about it. Bigging it up for Geopher here!!!
