This week we rolled out some changes to Twtvite, as you may have noticed.

The first change to the site as a whole is the Support/FAQ page. This will help explaining a little about what Twtvite is and what you can do with it; how to do it; and why you should use Twtvite. This page was created based on some questions we received from people using the site for the firt time.

Change #1

The major change to the site is the way you RSVP now. You no longer have to tweet your RSVP. We use Twitter oAuth authentication to verify the Twitter account answering to a Twtvite.

The reasons for this change were: (1) We had some users who didn’t like the idea of “having to tweet” in order to RSVP to an event, also when a lot of your followers would RSVP to the same event (or others) it would look “spammy” in some people’s stream. (2) Twitter Search has become very unreliable, skipping updates from some people all together, also it was a chanllege for people who choose to have their updates protected.

Change #2

You now have a vanity url that will display all of your Upcoming Tweetups (that you’re organizing or attending) and your Past Tweetups. This page can also be branded with your Twitter profile info (see example).

Change #3

When you’re looking at the list of people who are attending a Tweetup, at the More Info option, we added information about other Tweetups each person is also attending.

(While you’re there, be sure to check out the Print name tags option)

Change #4

The way you manage and update your Tweetups has also changed. There is NO hidden admin url for a Twtvite. You simply go to My Twtvite (link on the top right of the page). You will find information about your Upcoming Tweetups, Past Tweetups and RSVPs (and be able to edit/cancel tweetups you created, and modify your RSVPs.

Change #5

Twtvite now has a light version for mobile devices. Simply go to http://twtvite.com from your mobile device. :)

Those are all of the changes for now. As always, please keep giving us feedback!
