Qype - Live and tell

We recently updated our invitation feature, which now makes it even easier to invite your friends to Qype. This is how it goes:

Some of your friends may already be Qypers – find out who is and who isn’t: If you’re using AOL, Google Mail, Hotmail / MSN or Yahoo, we can automatically check your email address book and show you which of your friends already are on Qype, so that you can add them to your contacts. Afterwards, you can send Qype invitations to the remaining email addresses. Just select or de-select the adresses from your addressbook accordingly.

You earn 5 Qype points for each contact you successfully invite, and get another 10 points as soon as your invited contact writes his or her 5th review. So what are you waiting for, invite some friends! ;)

By the way: Should you wish to remain anonymous, just edit “Settings - Privacy” so that you cannot be found if someone searches for your email address.

Have you noticed the Qype widget? With our widget you can display a list of your most recent reviews, or a list with all users’ recent reviews for a given city on your blog or website.

Let your friends know where you were, or what’s hot in your city! Just configure your widget, and copy and paste it into your blog’s sidebar or on your homepage.

As we are entering the UK market, we’re looking for a UK Community Manager. If that might be you, please have a look at our job description. If that’s not you, please help us spread the word. ;)

Johnw is the happy winner of our Qype ‘Win a Nokia N95‘ promotion. Johnw is therefore the living proof that nice things happen to Qypers, so keep reviewing those great local places and sharing your wisdom and hot tips with others.

From time to time, when we want to spread a little happiness, we will be giving all of you the opportunity to win something useful, desirable and stylish. Don’t worry, we will let you know in advance so you don’t miss out.

I’ve set up a Qype Twitter bot for London, twittering away recent reviews from the area. So if you’re on Twitter, make sure to add it to your friends to see what’s new in London.
Please let me know if you’d like to see Qype Twitter Bots for other cities, too.
