+Eggbart Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 (edited) Whats going on here? Many of you ask. Well, Jeremy seems to have analysed the world from a software modeling point of view. What he found is that there should be a higher level ob abstraction. Great!!! The higher level is that the world has several different groups of people searching and finding places such as virtual and location less caches, benchmarks, McDonalds .... and so on. I just ask myself why he doens't go for the great leap and make geocaching a category of its own? Or is is already planing this and just fears to tell us? Geocaching as it will be in near future is just another categorie!!! Thus I'd propose this new categorie and I'd like to be (possibly paid) category manager. greetings Edited August 19, 2005 by Eggbart Link to comment
+mini cacher Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 This post might suggest just that. Link to comment
+KoosKoos Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 At least then it would be back to hosted on one site! Link to comment
+Camping Hoosiers Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Are you a pessimist by nature? The End of Geocaching... give me a break! Link to comment
+Eggbart Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 Are you a pessimist by nature? The End of Geocaching... give me a break! Why pessimist? I am just realistic. There is nothing special about geocaching. Get real! It's a great hobby, sure. It is nothing special in the sense of other hobbies where people find things. Jeremy wants all these hobbies on his page and geocaching is just another hobby Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Actual it is much smarter to do it this way. By breaking the sites apart, he is much more likely to attract new users who think geocaching is stupid (like almost everyone all of us know). Not only that, but he pleases a core group within geocaching, those that do not like virts or LCs. It was a smrt move, in my opinion. Link to comment

Its nice to see that you can read his mind from a distance. Keep up the good work Edited August 20, 2005 by LaPaglia Link to comment

+caderoux Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Ahhh, the abstraction, just think about it - all GPS-based games ever invented or yet to be invented can become categories under Waymarking.com. And then geodashing, letterboxing, benchmarking, bookcrossing, degree confluence, and everything else can be unified by the One Ring (I mean Groundspeak). My precious... Link to comment

My precious... Obviously this is just another part of Groundspeak's quest for world domination through subversive religion masquerading as science. Link to comment
