Schemer

I am sure a lot of you are aware of Google’s new offering called Schemer. The service is still invite only and not yet open for everyone. If you want to get on it, you might want to sign-up on their website and wait for an invitation.

But people who are already on Scheme, can fast-track that waiting period by inviting others.

We at Devils’ Workshop have a few invites to share with you.

About Schemer

Schemer is like a social network for sharing activities and things you are planning to do. For example, you can share your plans on reading a particular series of books or learn to play the guitar. These activities can be shared with your friends and also publicly if you wish. Read more about Schemer here.

See you soon on Schemer. 🙂

Google has recently launched Schemer, a new service which allows users to add and discover activities based on their location. For instance if I want to learn how to play a guitar then I can create a scheme on my schemer profile about it. My circle of friends from Google+ and services tied to the site can recommend me a guitar shop or a class, where I could learn how to play it. My friends and others (if the activity is publicly shared) can even comment on my scheme with helpful tips.

Once someone signs up with Schemer, that user can also view a host of activities planned by their friends on Google+. You might be able to tick off things you have done among them.

Local and Social

I guess the idea behind Schemer is to help people discover new activities they want to do. For instance if I was visiting a particular city, I might be served up city specific activities which I could find interesting. Schemer is also neatly wrapped with Google+, adding another reason to get on Google’s social network.

Google might also be trying to create something like Foursquare, which is also a location based social network. With Schemer, Google might also be able to aggregate local data for its search results, which it is not exactly really good at currently. At some stage we can probably expect Schemer to be integrated with Google+ profiles and relevant Mobile apps.

Facebook has recently bought Gowalla, another location-based social network. That would make it a competitor to Google’s Schemer somewhere down the line.

Currently Schemer is in beta stage on invite only basis. To get into the queue visit their website and add your email id for getting an invite.

What do you think about Google’s latest? Will you like something like Schemer.com or prefer to share things to do online on Google+, Facebook only? Do drop in your comments.
