Here are some useful and just plain cool updates to Groupvine:

Blog or public Web site badges
Does your group have a public Web site and use Groupvine? Now it’s really easy to promote that on your public page! We have two flavors: a “join” badge and a “sign in” box.

How cool is that? Now you don’t even have to visit Groupvine’s site to get its benefits.

Simply click on the People, then Promote, or click the link on your group’s Overview page.

Note: these are both working widgets, and you can use them to join our “Demo” group.

Also, we’ve added:

• An easier invitation system: just enter straight email addresses, and as many as you want
• Public / private group classifications
• Big, bold numbers on the calendar to indicate when events are happening
