Simplicity makes our software powerful.
1. Powerful Profiles
Put names to faces
Our least complicated and most important feature, profile photos, which lead to real world meetings.
Customized profile questions
Ask the questions that matter for your crowd.
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 This way your profile never goes out of date.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
Of course we have this! Find people by name or based on their profile.
Answers
We convert the most common answers into tags that show everyone who has given that answer.
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
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.
Add to contacts
Keep track of people you know and want to know.
Public comments
Leave a comment directly on someone's profile endorsing them or implicitly inviting others into the conversation.
4. Conference Specific
Calendar
Our integrated calendar lets attendees create their own agendas, discuss sessions, and see who else is in the session with them.
Feedback
After attending a session, conference goers can rate a session's content and speaker, which helps you track the success of your content.
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
Discussion threads
Any members can start a discussion thread.
Activity wall
The most recent network activity is summarized on the home page so that people can keep up with the entire community.
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
Design
Customize the design of your network with our simple tools.
Design service
Want a completely customized experience that matches your website? Our design service can do that for you. Just point us at your existing site and we'll do the rest.
Privacy
Choose from an open network, moderated membership, or completely private.
7. Plays well with others
Contact export
Take your new contacts to your other online homes like Facebook, LinkedIn or your address book. You can export as vCard or CSV.
OpenID
Don't want to remember another password? You can sign up using your OpenID.
Wondering if your Facebook friends are part of the CrowdVine network you just joined? We have a Facebook app just for that.
8. We'll hold your hand
Support
Email us, call us, hire us. We're here to give you as much support as you need including explaining features, managing community, or talking strategy.

Customizations
Need something we don't have? We'll build it for you. We've built everything from job boards, video rating contests, custom landing pages, and more for our customers.
