New way to get route distances--RouteRuler.com

[asumberg]

I apologize, spamming is not what we are doing or intended. We were just looking for feedback from bikers... and since we are runners and don't know that many we thought the easiest way was to post on some of these forums. I am sorry if they seem intrusive, but we started by posting to a couple and got no response, so I decided to see if I could find a more effective way of reaching out. The service is free and will hopefully remain so for as long as we can maintain it. We are just 2 runners working on this in our spare time.

I want to thank all of you for your suggestions and many of your commetns we are going to be working in on in future versions. Especially the ease of which it should download, the ease of getting maps, and getting rid of those annoying flashing ads. We have those on there to try and defer some of the costs associated with running the site, but we think they are annoying, and we have heard back that others do as well, so we are working on a plan to jettison them.

From our internal monitoring we have seen a huge respose from Team Estrogen forum and appreciate the support, comments, and suggestions. BTW-we have no devilish intention when asking for some basic personal data, our intentions was to use it as a demographic meter to see what kinds of people are using the site. We have no intentions to sell the lists, and there is even an opt-out button on the form. Please, be assured that your info is safe and not going to be used for anything more then internal demo analysis, as perhaps a way to entice relevant advertisers.

I hope this answers some of your concerns and I hope that some of you will takw another, or a first look at the site and send us additional commnets. Feedback is our currency for right now.

Thanks again for the support,
