1. Sign Up…
If you haven’t done so already,
now is a good time to sign up at Vybee.com
either by using Facebook Connect or through our Sign Up page.
It’s super quick and easy and that’s when the fun begins.
a) Login with Facebook Connect
You can sign up & login through Facebook Connect
by clicking the ‘Login with Facebook’ button and following the prompts through Facebook.
Make sure to ‘Allow’ permissions. This will allow you to create a profile on Vybee.com
with the name and picture you’ve already registered on Facebook. Pretty cool.
If you already have a Vybee.com account,
please read this before using Facebook Connect.
b) Register through Vybee.com
Signing up through Vybee.com is a breeze.
Just click the ‘Sign Up’ button to visit our register page…
Pick out a good Username
which will be used in your URL link as well as your @Name
which people can use to publicly mention you and send you public messages
- much like Twitter.
Click ‘Complete Sign Up’, and check your email.
Make sure to ‘Activate’ your account through the Activation Link we email you.

2. Join Groups…
Groups are the main hubs of activity in Vybee.com.
Check out the ‘Groups’ tab to find and join local interest groups
you’d like to keep up and participate with.
When you’re signed in, you’ll see ‘Join Group’ buttons in the group pages
as well as in the main groups tab.
You can join public groups right away, and request memberships for private groups.

3. Post in Groups…
You can post updates and media in groups you’ve joined
right from your home page or the group page itself.
Just follow the quick steps detailed below…

2) Select a group you’ve joined from the drop down menu
where you’d like to send your post.
3) Select options to post to your Facebook and Twitter networks.
* If you haven’t done so already, click ‘Post to Facebook’ and ‘Post to Twitter’
to set up your accounts. We will remember your settings from there.
4) Click the media icons to post media.
- Click the camera to upload images
(you’ll be able to select one or even multiple files to upload at one time).
Or share image urls (make sure image urls end with .jpeg, .gif, or .png).

- Click the link to share links from websites, blogs, etc.
5) Click the ‘Preview’ button to see a preview of your media.
6) Click the ‘Post Update’ button and you’re done!
- allow a few seconds for the media to post to your page.

Details may take time to read, but try it out for yourself,
and we think you’ll find it really is quite fluid.
