Flyertalk Buddy List

I had a great idea at a Flyertalk dinner last night. We talked about how it's neat that we can land in most any city in the world and have a good chance of meeting a Flyertalker for dinner or drinks. I thought we should increase the chances of meeting people and use technology to do it.

So here is the concept. Each time we connect to Flyertalk, we are prompted (configurable option) to enter our location and length of stay. This updates a database and lets us know who else is in that city (using airport codes). Then we can choose to email our buddies to see if they wish to meet. This is entirely optional for those who don't wish to participate. The technology is easy and it will make Flyertalk even more valuable.

For Randy's attention, you would be the 1st in the world to implement this type of service!
