Announcing GoRun: Twitter + Runners

May 14, 2008 | in Hella Sound | 0 Comments

Hella Sound is pleased to announce GoRun, a spanking new site feature.

GoRun allows runners to communicate instantly with www.HellaSound.com through Twitter.

It’s easy to post to GoRun—just follow these simple steps:

Create an account at Twitter (or use one you already have)
Follow the user GoRun
Sign up here and include your Twitter user name
Send GoRun a direct message. Example:

d GoRun I’m running in the Boston Marathon next year! w00t!

It’s that simple.

Sweet! So What Can I Do With This?

Here’s a couple ideas off the top of our head:

Share a post from your running blog
Promote your running event
Tell the world about your last run
Share an inspiring story
Brag about your new personal best

The possibilities are endless.

GoRun is real-time: we are constantly polling Twitter for the freshest messages you send.
GoRun is searchable: enter your search keywords in the search box up yonder (↑) and the results page will display results from GoRun as well as the rest of the site.
GoRun is independent: we love Twitter, but we also recognize that it occasionally falls down and hurts itself. As such, we’ve taken steps to make sure that GoRun is not adversely affected by Twitter outages; even if Twitter goes down you will still be able to browse GoRun posts on www.HellaSound.com.

You could call GoRun the real-time, constantly-evolving online compendium of all things runner and running-related.

We think that’s carrying things a bit too far.

Instead, let’s say it’s a finger on the pulse of the running world. And it’s driven by you. Check it out! GoRun
