Getalife is Facetime
(Email sent to Getalife members on the eve of the Facetime launch).
As you may have heard, for over a year now, we have been quietly rebuilding Getalife.com.au. Our goal: to strengthen our position as Australia’s leading and liveliest activity network with a website that looks better and is easier to use.
Finally, after oceans of sweat and tears, we are about to cross the finish line to claim a trophy that is worth the wait. Tomorrow, Getalife.com.au will be relaunched as Facetime.com.au!
The new site comes with a comprehensive range of tools and perks that will propel you into a new social scene faster then you can say "pass me the remote please". There’re far too many features to list here, and the best way to discover what benefits you can get out of them is to just logon and use the site.
But in a nutshell this is what you will wake up to tomorrow morning:
- Customised and personalised home pages for immediate access to the stuff that matters
- Interactive map and radius based search of activities and members
- Refined and flexible privacy, notification and newsfeed options
- Easier and faster (bulk) upload to activity albums
- Superior group and activity management tools for organisers and co-organisers (!)
- Automatic building of your Friends List
- Separate mail boxes for messages and invitations
- A crispy, vibrant and contemporary look & feel
- A user friendly, intuitive organisation of the website
We’ll keep Getalife in our heart always, and you can keep www.getalife.com.au bookmarked forever. But from tomorrow, you’ll be automatically redirected to www.facetime.com.au. Then just log in with your normal username and password. Don’t worry – all members, activities (past and present), groups, ratings, messages & invitations (sent and received) will still be there.
Yes, it may take you a little while to get used to the way some things have been rearranged on Facetime.com.au. But we’re sure that very soon you will soon move around the site at the speed of a bullet, thanks to a crispier look & feel, more personalised content, handy navigation tools and greater style uniformity.
Why Facetime ?
The name is near perfect. Facetime reflects exactly what our website is about: spending quality time with others in real life.
Encouraged by your feedback, we are convinced that Facetime - its brand, looks and functionalities - will appeal to more members, more organisers and participants. And that Facetime will intimately result in greater experiences for all. Online and offline. Whenever and whenever.
One more night....
