Introducing Club KeepUp

We have been hard at work adding a key new feature to our service, this feature is called "Club KeepUp". This feature allows you to create a Club (either public or for a private list of friends) and allow others to subscribe to this club. Once your club is setup and you have subscribers you can create "Events" which become special tasks in the users "MyTasks" section. These special tasks are owned by the user, but the due date is controlled by the club administrator.

Here is a simple example:
My boys play on soccer teams and these teams typically have a manager, the manager is tasked with making sure everyone knows about events like games, picture day, when to bring a snack, etc. The problem with this is everyone gets lots of emails at the beginning of the season but never remembers what to do when. With Club KeepUp the manager could create a club, have all the team members subscribe, and then they would get the reminders at the right time for each event coming up via Email or Text message on their mobile phone, and also in their MyTasks section on the KeepUp site. Our club reminders go out right away when the event is published by the administrator, so this could even be used to let folks know that a game is rained out or moved to a new location for any reason.

One of the advanced features of Club KeepUp is that you can have  Location Relevant Events. For example, if you have a favorite band that you want to know about you can keep up with their events within a certain number of miles to where you live (or to where you travel). You can subscribe to location based events where we calculate the distance from the event to your location and decide if its relevant to you based on the number of miles you entered in your subscription.

We will be working with lots of folks in the coming months to get some great public clubs, but in the meantime please try out the private clubs for your schools, sports teams, church groups, clubs and any other group.
