Simplicity makes our software powerful.

We build simple, powerful social software to help people connect. While our products are very good, we believe the killer feature of social software is people. That's why this page is more than a list of tools, it's a list of goals. Everything we do is aimed at making it easier for people to meet. Once they've done that, it's our job to get out of the way.

1. Powerful Profiles

Photo_spotlight

Put names to faces

Our least complicated and most important feature, profile photos, which lead to real world meetings.

Profile_questions_spotlight

Customized profile questions

Ask the questions that matter for your crowd.

Profile_feed_spotlight

Connect to your other identities

We aggregate your Internet identity: blog, photos, twitters. This way your profile never goes out of date.

2. Easy to find people

Search_spotlight

Search

Of course we have this! Find people by name or based on their profile.

Tag_cloud_spotlight

Answers

We convert the most common answers into tags that show everyone who has given that answer.

Face_to_face_spotlight

In Person

It's not enough to help you find virtual friends. We want to help you connect in person: by putting faces to names so that you recognize each other, by mapping people who live near you, and at conferences, letting you know who else is in a session with you.

3. Easy to contact people

Message_spotlight

Private messaging

Want to get in touch privately? Instead of building yet another web based mailbox, we just send your message directly to your contact's email.

Contact_spotlight

Add to contacts

Keep track of people you know and want to know.

Endorsement_spotlight

Public comments

Leave a comment directly on someone's profile endorsing them or implicitly inviting others into the conversation.

4. Conference Specific

Calendar_spotlight

Calendar

Our integrated calendar lets attendees create their own agendas, discuss sessions, and see who else is in the session with them.

Review_spotlight

Feedback

After attending a session, conference goers can rate a session's content and speaker, which helps you track the success of your content.

To_meet_spotlight

Want-to-meet

Attending conferences isn't just about the content, it's about making new contacts. Our "want-to-meet" list helps attendees track who they're looking for at the conference and, conversely, who wants to meet with them.

5. Group Communication

Blogging_spotlight

Discussion threads

Any members can start a discussion thread.

Activity_wall_spotlight

Activity wall

The most recent network activity is summarized on the home page so that people can keep up with the entire community.

Aggregates_spotlight

Aggregate blogs/twitters/photos

Find out what your members are doing on the edges of the internet. We track their blog posts, twitters, and photo uploads so you can see all of them in one place.

6. Customizable

Customizer_spotlight
