3. Problems with Events<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our results suggests that our participants were much more likely to find themselves unable to invite a friend who isn’t on a social networking site to an event, than risk missing out on an event that is created on a site they aren’t a part of. With only 29.4%\u00a0<\/strong>saying that they had missed out on an event, compared to 51%<\/strong> saying they’d missed out on inviting a friend to an event because they weren’t part of a social network. Koh.Tu.Me looks to address this issue by making it easy for users to invite people who aren’t part of a social network.<\/p>\n

\"2-1.1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"2-1.2\"
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

74.5%<\/strong> of participants answered yes to being invited to an event but not knowing who lived close enough to them to share travel costs with. Koh.Tu.Me looks to solve this with our intelligent travel algorithm that links people together based on their proximity and travel preferences.
\n\"2-1.3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over half of our participants also answered yes to wearing the incorrect clothing for an event based on not accessing to weather forecast information.

For professional features: these results indicate that a high proportion of the working professionals that answered this survey found these elements of Koh.Tu.Me to be appealing, with the most appealing feature being a professional service to take on more responsibility for organising the event overall. For general features: these results indicate that the most popular features center around the inclusive element of Koh.Tu.Me such as being able to invite people to an event irrespective of whether they are on a social network or not, and being able to travel together in a group to events. Encouragingly the results all showed that a much higher proportion of participants found the features of our application appealing as opposed to unappealing.<\/p>\n
