Beans and Dogs: Fido Factor’s Boston Launch

Big Papi and His Dog

This week we're officially announcing our Boston website launch! Since Boston is such a dog friendly city (especially the South End), and one of our team members is a recent MIT Sloan graduate, we thought Boston would be the perfect choice for our second Fido Factor city.

Over the last couple weeks we've been adding locations around the Boston Metro Area and reaching out to dog lovers.  We've got a pretty good set of listings already, but we need your help adding even more locations and writing great reviews.

As a little incentive, we've partnered with The Beehive in their fundraising efforts for the Animal Rescue League of Boston.  Starting at today's K9 & Cocktails event and running until August 27th we'll be donating $1 for every review or location added to the Boston site.  Any dog-friendly location in Massachusetts counts, so feel free to add your favorite spots on the Cape, North Shore, or wherever.  In addition, the user that generates the most locations and reviews will get their dog featured on our homepage slideshow!

We're constantly adding new locations and features to the site, so make sure to check back often.  Over the next couple weeks will be rolling out improved support for Boston Metro Areas, pushing out an update to our iPhone application [iTunes Link], adding new travel related categories, and enhancing the profile & Facebook Connect features.
