Sending a warm Thanks to all those who have graced Vybee.com as it’s been hatching and to those who get a glimmer of this vision to build a better way to engage with our own local communities. At Vybee.com it is an exciting journey to grow and evolve with such a vibrant and diverse local network coming together.

Roger from RTP New Tech just recently asked me, “what keeps you going?” My quick reply was, “I don’t know, maybe I’m crazy… but everyday I wake up thinking, man, we’re just getting started… there’s so much to do.” As I thought about it more, what really keeps me focused, is our core sense of purpose… re-connecting people back to their local communities in a more meaningful and engaging way.  With this mission clearly in mind, we can take on the challenges of evolving this project.

And we sincerely appreciate all the friends, feedback, ideas, collaborations, and down right participation that comes together to realize and sustain this vision. After all it takes a community to build a community. This is a Thanks on Thanksgiving to our vibrant community coming together on Vybee.com. Hope you’ll join us in good ways as we delve into the next phases and evolutions of this project.

Unleashing our first Live Group and Community Blogs.

These Blogs are actually more like Group or Community Bulletins, providing
a Group Posting / MicroBloging environment where multiple authors can participate,
depending on how open to the public the Admins and Moderators would like things to be.

For even more live power and energy, we’ve created a system of bringing in
Twitter, TwitPic, and Flickr posts based on specific group tags and interests
- aggregating into one focused environment.

This enables Live mobile or web posting from events using existing accounts,
+ the ability to find and share with a community based around the same interest.

We hope to create more of these for our groups, communities, and events,
and continue to bring in more power features to these environments.

You saw it here first : )
