+1 stuff in the skyway

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

Similar to Facebook’s “Like” button, Google’s +1 button lets everyone know “this is pretty cool” or “you should check this out.”  Okay, I took that definition from here.

We’ve incorporated the +1 button into all the locations in the skyway map.  (except for Parking and markers in the Miscellaneous category- but let us know if you think if that’s a mistake)  Clicking the button will simply update your Google+ profile to show that you +1′d that particular business/thing/whatever in the skyway.

So far it seems to work much better for us than the “Like” button, plus we’re really digging Google+ and the ability to limit content to specific Circles seamlessly.

So go start +1ing all your favorite places in the skyway!


Aquatennial Tennis is Back for 2011

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

A favorite of the SkywayMyWay team, the Aquatennial Plaza Tennis Classic is downtown once again (has it been a year already?!)  We enjoy grabbing a Potbelly sandwich for lunch and eating it out in the plaza while watching the matches.

If you don’t get a chance to watch the action in person, you can watch it via a live streaming feed this year!

Check out the tennis schedule for more info, and see what other Aquatennial events are happening as well.
