Welcome to the first blog from the guys here at Jetwerk. My name is Tim Godwin and I love to travel! But the thing I love the most about it is those moments that happen outside the normal planned trip. That is one of the reasons we started Jetwerk!

Last year I had business trip to New York City where I was throwing an event to show a new product to the press and select musicians in the city. I had most of my lunch and dinner plans set but always like to keep a few open just in case something should come up last minute. So I thought here is a perfect chance to do a little “market research” the week before I left I emailed a handful of musician friends in LA and Nashville letting them know about the event in NYC. I have always been curious when traveling how many people I know may be in the same city at the same time as me. It has happened before when running into friends was a coincidence on the road or just going to an event in the city where I live.

Within a few days I heard back from 2 good friends who were going to be in New York the same time I was. The first one was my buddy Michael Ward who not only is a good friend but also an amazing guitarist, writer, cyclist and author. He had his own band in the early 90’s School of Fish with singer Josh Clayon-Felt and later was the guitarist in the Wallflowers. He is the author of 2 children’s books “Mike and the Bike” and “Lucy and the Wheel” where his good buddy Lance Armstrong gave it a thumbs up and wrote the forward to both the books. I had the great opportunity to play with him on the Jay Leno show with Shelby Lynn. At the time when we meet up in New York he was playing with Ben Harper on the David Letterman show. So we meet up after the show and had a drink at the Soho Grand and afterwards had a great Italian meal with the rest of the band around the corner at. Later that night we headed down to the village to the Bitterend to hear guitarist Oz Noy with Will Lee on bass and Keith Carlock playing drums. Needless to say on the night of my arrival to NY is forever etched into both our minds as a great hang and memory.

Now if that night wasn’t enough, a buddy from Nashville, Jerry McPherson was in town playing with Faith Hill on the Martha Stewart show. So Jerry, Pat, Denny and I ended up having dinner that Wednesday night at one of my favorite New York restaurant, Trattoria Del Arte. That night is always a great topic of conversation when I see those guys and also gave me a chance to get to know Pat and Denny much better.

I often wonder what my Monday and Wednesday night would have been like if I never sent out those emails!

Welcome to Jetwerk.

Jetwerk is a new and unique social networking site for those who travel for business and pleasure and would like to make the most of their travel time. Jetwerk will enhance your travel when taking any trip and turn it into memorable experiences by easily connecting you with friends, family or colleagues that may be at the same place at the same time as you. If you want more info you can find it here at the Jetwerk Blog or head on over to Jetwerk.com. But for now…

This allows you to determine who may view your schedule overall and who gets your trip notification emails. There are three options for the Schedule View setting and you will find them under PROFILE.

My Jetwerk:

This setting ensures that only people in your Jetwerk will be able to view your schedule and receive the trip notifications. You can also be searched by other members of Jetwerk but only until you have accepted their invite will you both be able to let each other know about your trips.

Public:

Selecting this setting will allow any Jetwerk member to search for your name and view your current schedule.

Invisible:

The Invisible setting is used if you do not want to be searched and found. The only way for you to have people in your Jetwerk is to personally invite them.

Members of your Jetwerk (shown in My Contacts) will still be able to view your schedule, even if your search setting is set to invisible. Your very Private Rolodex!

In the My Trips section, you will see your scheduled trips on a map and listed.

By clicking the trip number, under Edit in the list, you may update the dates, the destination, the Notify, and the View settings for that trip.

You may also completely Remove the trip from your schedule.

You may also add trips from this section by clicking the ‘Add Trip‘ button under the trip listing.

The My Contacts section allows you view your contacts, the members of your Jetwerk (imagine that).

This section also allows you to organize your contacts into 4 groups:

Friends, Family, Business, and Other.

This determines who will be notified of upcoming trips (if your paths are crossing, of course) and who may view your trips online.

The menu choices under My Contacts has 4 options to let you choose which of your categories of contacts you would like to see, or all of them.

You will also be able to view your contact’s schedule by clicking the globe under ‘View Trips‘.

When you click on the Invite button, you will see a page allowing you to enter a number of names and email addresses for your friends and colleagues that you would like to invite. Once you have sent your invitations, take a break. You will need to wait for your buddies to respond and be part of your Jetwerk. If you’re in a hurry, pick up the phone and call them, tell them to check their email.

There are also two other sections under the Invite button:

Accepted:

This shows a list of contacts within the last 60 days that have accepted your invitation to join Jetwerk.

Pending:

This page shows you people that you have invited but have not yet accepted your invitation. You can click on the Remind button if you need to give them a little extra encouragement. You can also remove them from your list as well.

Once you have logged in, click the add trip button, this will take you to the page where you can start filling in your destination.

Fill in city, state, arrival and departure dates.

Just below this you will see Notify and View.

Notify:

Allows you to choose what group or groups will be contacted should your paths cross. Whether you’re traveling to their city or you happen to both be traveling to the same city.

View:

Allows you to choose who may see your trip online.

When finished, click submit.

If your trip happens to coincide with someone in your Jetwerk, you will both receive an email 30 days prior to your leaving.

You will also receive follow up emails 14 ,7 and 2 days before you leave.
