This one goes out to:
- All the college students who have one list of events that they share with their friends and another that they share with their parents, deans, and bosses…
- Every company that holds events tailored specifically for its employees…
- Alumni networks looking to easily host and publicize events for other alums in their cities…
- And anyone who wants to create a special guest list for an event…
Now you can! Roammeo just rolled out its first “Groups” feature, which allows you to choose whom you want to share your event with based on email domains.
Let me walk you through how it works:
1. Go to www.roammeo.com, choose your city, and load the map.
2. Log into your account using Facebook in the upper righthand corner of the page.
3. Once you’ve logged in, click on your name to bring out a drop-down menu. One of the tabs will say “Add Emails.” Click on that, and a list of your registered emails will pop up on the screen.
4. Type in any other major emails that you use and click save all. This will be especially helpful right now if you have a .edu address, as those are the majority of the events that are kept within a group right now (with many, many more events on the way…but that’s the subject for another blog post!)
5. Roammeo will send a confirmation link to that email address, and as soon as you click it, that email will be remembered on the site! From that point forward you will be able to see events highlighted for your group. You can see the pay-off immediately if you go to the Post Event page. If you’re a student, for example, you can choose to make your event visible to all users, all .edu users (such as students at another university in the area), or just members of your college.
Check it out and let us know what you think! As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas for new features to share, email us directly at team @ roammeo.com. And get ready – this is just the start of our efforts to make event discovery and event sharing as easy and fun as possible!
