So, our new release went live tonight on the web dashboard, and we FINALLY added our first social feature. Now, it isn’t much, it is very basic, but. . . . we think it is a big milestone just the same! For the first time, RunKeeper users have a way to make your activities public—-either through a direct URL (link) to give to friends to share a particular activity, or you can embed the map of your activity along with a link to view the activity details into emails, blogs, websites, forums, etc.
Why is this important? A couple of reasons. One, because so many of you have been clamoring for this feature 
Two, the real value of what we are building here isn’t just about a place to house your fitness data, but at the core, we are striving to make outdoor fitness activities more SOCIAL and FUN. The ability to share your activities is our first step towards the next phase of RunKeeper’s growth involving increased context around your data and interactivity with friends, peer groups, and the broader RunKeeper community. And if we can arm you with tools to help grow that community, even better! We have many exciting updates in store. Bottom line. . . it isn’t all about you any more! This is only the beginning. . .
