I recently attended the IA Summit in Miami and encountered Crowdvine for the first time. I was blown away at its simplicity. I really love simple applications that have robust tool sets. And did I say it was free tol use! Crowdvine started out with their social networking application, and most recently launched Crowdvine for conferences; thus allowing people attending a conference to collaborate online.
[TechCrunch.com] Crowdvine is a hosted free white label social network application created by Tony Stubblebine.
Setting your own network is dead simple. You just need to pick a name, pick some profile questions, and then send out invites with a personalized message. You network is hosted at name.crowdvine.com Profiles consist of a photo, location, personal link, description, blog posts, and the questions the creator of the network chooses. Members can also incorporate RSS feeds from another blog, photo stream, or social bookmarking site. See the IA Summit social network for an example.
The networks are either open to everyone, open but moderated, or private to the creator’s friends. The design of the site is customizable by main colors and adding code to the header.
Social interaction is basic right now. Members can invite friends, make friends, message each other, and comment on each others pages.

Thanks! We like simple also! All our early feedback included that word. Lately, we’ve added a few more features and I feel like I’ve stopped hearing this feedback. So it’s good to hear that some people still find us simple.
