Groupvine Interviewed on Folksonomy

Groupvine’s Scott Hurff has been interviewed on folksonomy.org. He talks about Groupvine’s vision, our market niche, usefulness to group members and group leaders, and gives a great tip to college entrepreneurs, which I will echo here:

Just Do It.

The time is now, pursue your venture today, while you’re still thinking of it, and especially while you’re still in college. You have an extra few years of lead time on everyone else. You can throw all your resources at a project and if you fail, you’re not homeless and hungry. You still live in your dorm room, and you go to class the next day, and eat on your meal plan. Read the article for the rest of Scott’s response.

So this is cross posted on the Groupvine Blog, but since I wrote the post, it can go here too right?

Recurring Events
We’ve gotten a number of requests for recurring events in Groupvine. So, thanks to your use of the feedback form (top right inside Groupvine), you got your wish! Today we added a recurring events feature to the “Events” tab. Just click the “Repeat this event” checkbox, and you’re on your way.

As always thanks for your feedback, keep suggesting features, my next post might be announcing your feature idea.

November is Birthday Month
As a final note, I’d like to wish a Happy Birthday to Scott on the 6th (today) and myself on the 8th. Scott has reached the oh-so-mature age of 23, while I’ve passed the oh-so-legal 21 year mark. So Happy Birthday to us both, and here’s to another year of better and more organized college groups!
