Pathtag info published, lead buried

There has been a LOT of action over at The Geocoin Store. (No I don't work for them) I hope the other vendors take note and put in some extra effort.

Basicly everything in the story has already been covered here, with two exceptions.

1: (This is the huge buried lead) The manufacturer has had success getting a tag out in 11 days! That is great news for future customers. They advertise 6 weeks! If the tag is mine I will let you know ;)

2. The next site update will include a "search and collecting tool." I assume this will make the tags truly funcitonal.

Here are some new tags:


















*Now I get to get somthing off my chest that has been driving me crazy*

If people use these tags instead of geocoins (which get stolen on a regular basis) wouldn't you think that they would play-down the collectablity of them! It irritates me somewhat that they have a pegboard for all of the tags you get. This incourages hording and I know there is a 97% chance that as soon as I put one in a cache it will mostlikely go on someones wall at home. This is a great business model for Pathtags but lame for those wanting a traveling geocoin. I understand that these are for traded pathtags, but you know if these catch on... what people will do.

Demystifying Pathtags

So we’ve been asked more than a few time over the last month “What exactly is a Pathtag? What do they look like?” Below are the finished tags of several of our design and accessory partners – we don’t think they’d mind me showing them off to the world a little.

The Pathtags.com site was just updated today. For the public, it’s a new look only. For tag owners, you’ll see a revision to the tag system and if your tag is in production, you’ll notice that we’ve added a “profile” that allows you to name the tags, enter some text for your profile, and even upload additional images.

Next, you’ll see a search and collecting tool come online and when that finally is finished, the public will be invited to sign up for accounts and explore the full network and community.

We are very excited about these, they look great, they are nice and solid, and fast to produce. Currently, record production time is 11 days from order submission! So one of the current orders will show up at the customer’s door within 20 days of their order! Not bad…

So enjoy and if you have any questions about Pathtags, you can drop a line to info@geocoinclub.com for more details. Thanks!
