[quote=http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2132859/Google-Launches-Schemer-Project-Activity-Finder] Google has launched a content-sharing tool that's all about finding new things to do in the real world. This project lets users create, share, find, discuss, and track progress on "schemes" for goals, activities, and adventures. TechCrunch first noticed in November that Google seemed to be playing with the Schemer name and domain. Now that product has launched into its invite-only beta phase, unveiling itself as a real-world activity-sharing site. Google describes the site as being all about discovery. As the Schemer Google+ page puts it: Whether it’s exploring a new city, checking out a friend’s movie recommendations, or just finding new activities for your weekends, Schemer lets you discover new things to do, share schemes with friends, and make the most of your day. All this is coming from "a scrappy team of Google engineers who wanted to help people do fun stuff in the real world." In other words, this is probably a 20 percent time project, proving that Google is committed to allowing innovation.

I just checked it out... it's kind of pointless unless you're incredibly bored. Also, almost all of the suggestions are either something I've done before, or never could do. (like go live in Europe for a year)
Man, there's a bunch of these types of apps. I'd actually use the things if they included a city near me.
Seems useless unless you like chicks with mustaches. Am I missing the point of this service?
