Ask HN: Review my product concept: farsquare - A doorbell for your meetups

farsquare is a concept for a tool which allows you to create events and meet-ups, invite guests to those events, and track their location before the event.

It is very much in it's concept phase and I would love to know what you guys think about it.

    Nice idea!

    Personally, I really liked the presentation, as it is very clear. You may want to put it on the top of the page!

    Else, nice MVP!

    +1 for the name: I'd suggest to change it to something less similar to another popular service.

    The concept is interesting but why did you use such a similar name to another popular service? It was really the first thing I noticed and I really dislike that.

    I like this a lot. . . passive notification. It would also be cool to post messages to the group. . . for instance if everyone is going to a bar to watch a game, but the bar turns out not to be showing it. You could message the group.

    I am not too enamored by the name though.
