1894 - Social chat of old times, 49 Camp, California Midwinter Exposition

Being at the expo, I’m assuming this is a staged shot.  Still pretty cool, a lot of character I think.

new! vivaty social scenes

Hi all,

You’ve been asking to meet more Vivaty users so we built Social Scenes for you!  As of last night, we launched our first templated Social Scenes, with more to come.  Now you can have a Vivaty meet-up 24 hours a day, literally.

Just click on the Meet button at the bottom of your Vivaty Scene and you’ll get to the Social Scenes landing page.  In Facebook you can see a “Social Scenes” link at the top of the screen too.

We’re starting with small groups and we’re already thinking ahead to larger scenes with new themes for you.

What do you think of Social Scenes?  What types of themes do you want next?  How many people per scene feels right?  Leave us a comment or send us feedback at beta@vivaty.com.

We are planning another meet-up inside the Social Scenes so you can test-drive them with us.

When:  Thurs, Aug 7, 1 pm PST
Who:  Everyone with a Vivaty Scene is welcome
Where:  Social Scenes – Click the Meet button to join us

See you soon in Vivaty Social Scenes!

Web application Tabber tracks your friends’ online activity so you can keep updated on the haps with your pals (that’s cool-kid lingo).

Tabber works like this: You create contacts (or import them), then add their various online bases of activity – like their blog URL, del.icio.us and Digg usernames, photo gallery, etc. Once you’ve imported all that information, Tabber keeps tabs on your friend’s activities and lets you know when they’ve updated their blog, their photo gallery, or what site they just bookmarked in del.icio.us. So far Tabber is a bit sketchy on details (it’s not clear, for example, which photo galleries it works with, but one would assume Flickr is included), but if you or your friends live an active social life online, this looks like a promising way to keep track of it all.
