Press Release Body = Outdoorzy, LLC has just launched the first true online social network for the \"outdoorzy\" people of the world. The site caters to the needs of the outdoor community by creating a repository in which they can store their reviews, trip reports, ideas, and information about the outdoor sports and activities they enjoy.
The site will give outdoor sports enthusiasts an outdoor themed alternative to other social networks like Myspace.com. Users can sign up for free and upload information, stories, reviews, pictures, and more to the site. The site design focuses on being clean and easy to use for the members.
The content on Outdoorzy.com is almost purely user driven. The trip reports, destination reviews, and gear reviews will serve as a resource for planning trips, buying gear, and finding general information on the outdoors. The site aims to be a place for outdoor sports enthusiasts with similar interests to meet up and pool their information to utilize the power of an online community.
Some of the other functionality that Outdoorzy.com provides is a picture repository so members can store images of themselves and their trips. Members can also post gear lists for the various activities they enjoy. Then they can return later and access that gear list when they are packing for a similar trip, or use a gear list another member has posted. The site also has a forum where members can post questions, or just chat about their favorite outdoor activities.
Trip Reports can be created and stored on the site as well allowing the members to share stories from their adventures. Each trip report allows pictures to be uploaded. These trip reports can be made public and can be accessed by others to help them plan a trip. Members can also send personal messages, add friends to their friend list, chat on the forum, and research destinations.
Soon the site will give the members the ability to join groups, use a reservations system for outfitters and guides, buy gear, trip planning software, and more.
