We sent out about 50 or so of our beta request invite codes a weeks ago. It is going smoothly and we are about ready to send out a lot more. We are currently working on making some big changes before we send out the next batch. If you are waiting on the invite code, it will not be for much longer. Thanks for your patience!

Bunchify
With so much socializing done online it's often quite difficult to meet new people and form real connections. It can be awkward to talk to someone in real life, or add someone to your social network whom you've never actually met. We don't have a solution for the first part (yet), but we're hoping Bunchify will at least solve the latter.
You will be offered to log in with your Facebook account (ease of use and authentication, we will be adding Twitter and Google accounts after the beta launch). We will borrow only necessary information (name, profile picture, and email address). Once logged in you will be presented with a bunch of interests to choose from. After you choose a bunch (ok I'll stop) of interests you can fill out a quick introduction about yourself and add some links to your Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ profiles. On to the homepage! The homepage will consist of posts, links and discussions from other people who share your same interests. A directory will also be available on the homepage showing you who on Bunchify shares the most interests (location will play a part in this directory after launch).
Now, that's not it. Let's say you find someone whose posts and discussions you really enjoy. You may view their profile and request to be "cool" with them (the cool button will also add the person to a favorites list for viewing posts). If someone requests to be cool with you, there is no pressure to accept, simply click not now and you don't have to worry about it. But, if you do want to be cool with that person, it allows for more interaction between the both of you; real-time chat and messaging.
Bunchify is going to be a fun and easy place to meet like minded people. The beta will be rolling out in the next few days. We really hope you all like it!

Update on Bunchify
So we have pretty much spent the entire weekend trying to get Bunchify ready soon. We have facebook Connect working now, and Twitter connect will follow shortly. Posts will now post to what ever interest you select. Commenting on posts works. Deleting of posts and comments work. Just stay tuned everyone, and if you signed up to try the beta you will be emailed as soon as it's online. Thanks for the patience!

Top priority!
Right now we are working hard to finish the beta of Bunchify. Rest assured that our top priority is the UX. User experience is most important right now. Ease of use, fun and user engaging is what we're striving for.

Tagline has been updated!
"Find a bunch of people who share a bunch of your favorite interests." Much cleaner now.
