Vybee.com

There are some exciting updates coming together at Vybee.com that you guys should know about.

Vybee.com is evolving with how people like to use the platform.

We’re becoming much more like a community bulletin board or people-powered source for local news, events, discussions, and more.

As such, after some serious thought and consideration, we’ve decided to consolidate our group efforts to focus on building up major local interest communities.

The idea is…

Instead of working on numerous groups (which often overlap) with various group admins working on their own accords, we consolidate efforts through major interest groups where everyone can participate with posts and the growth of these major interest communities.

This will ease the confusion of ‘where to post’ and make it easier to participate across interests simply by selecting an appropriate major interest group to make your post.

Now, Admins, Mods, and Members alike can participate collectively with the growth of these major interest communities at Vybee.com – even across interests.

Through these major interest bulletins, we can also aggregate relevant info and syndicate content from local blogs and sources of information.

What this means…

In the coming weeks we will be consolidating smaller groups into major interest groups so we can collectively participate in the growth of these major interest communities.

We are aiming to minimize the number of groups to ease the confusion of ‘where to post info’.

So for example, groups like ‘Lovers of Jazz’ will get consolidated into ‘Music NC’; ‘RTP New Tech’ will get consolidated into ‘Triangle Business’; etc.

Soon, we will have a tagging and search system in place across the site so members can hone in on specific interests and posts.

Here is a list of active major interest communities we can collectively focus on building up at Vybee.com…

Music NC

Fashion NC

Triangle Nightlife (Raleigh Nightlife)

Triangle Dining

Triangle Health & Wellness

Triangle Business

Triangle Non-Profit

NC Literary

Triangle Social Media (The Social Edge)

Triangle Latin Social

Triangle International

Here’s a few we’d like to add in the coming weeks…

Triangle Arts

Triangle News & Opinons

Triangle Sports & Recreation

NC Philosophy & Spirituality

We now have a new and improved notification system in place.

After some glitches from our last system, this is a much appreciated improvement.

We now have better options for adjusting your notifications from each group you’re a part of – from all emails for groups you’d like to be more involved with, to daily digests or weekly summaries to keep up with active groups in a more manageable way, to no emails from groups you’d like to join, but just keep up with on the web.

You can find links to adjust notification settings for each group you’ve joined from the main Groups Directory, quick links below the description of each group you’ve joined, as well as the ‘Notifications’ tab in each group you’ve joined.

You can also adjust settings for each group forum topic from following topics of interest
to mute any topic you’d just rather not hear about.

And you can always change your notification options from groups you’ve joined at any time.

Hopefully this will improve your experience with Vybee.com
and offers a better way to tailor your experience here.
