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!

Hellooooooo

Been busy-busy working on finishing the beta, shouldn't be much longer! We are really excited to see what everyone thinks of the site when it's ready.




-Dave

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.


-Dave

Tagline has been updated!

"Find a bunch of people who share a bunch of your favorite interests." Much cleaner now.




-Dave

AngelList Profile is live!

So, just wanted to let everyone know that we have added Bunchify to AngelList. Bunchify Profile.

Sign up page is liiivveeeee.

Ok, so the sign up page is now live. If you are interested in using our site when the beta is ready then just click this link and we will email you AS SOON AS it is ready for use :)


And just to reiterate the point of this site, it is not to take over for Facebook, Twitter or Google+. Bunchify is an "along with" site, you use it along with Facebook, Twiter, or Google+. The main purpose is to really find those people you are going to be interested in adding as a friend, following, or circling.

Welcome to Bunchify!

Welcome to Bunchify.  In its simplest form, Bunchify is an easy way to find people who share interests with you.  Think StumbleUpon meets Facebook or Twitter. Our goal is for you to find people you can really connect with. Bunchify will let you share cool photos, links, or videos with people who actually like what you're sharing. No more searching for people to follow or trying to add new friends, we will do it all for you. If meeting new people isn't what you're looking for, then browse Bunchify and read posts about your favorite interests <-- What a great idea. And all in one feed!


Now, we are going to make this as easy as possible for you by letting you log in with your Facebook, Twitter, or Google account! Yay, no more remembering passwords or user names! Bunchify is just getting started, so expect a couple weeks before we start the beta.  In the meantime go to the Bunchify homepage, enter your email address and we'll let you know as soon as its open! 


Well, I'm done for now. You can get back to watching cat videos, reading about honey badgers, or whatever else you like doing on the interwebs!
