Ten Reasons to Try Zoji
Zoji is an online, social networking community that offers helpful tools, simple searching and invitations with a twist. Below, I have put ten good reasons to try it out:
Familiarity: Zoji has aspects that are similar to Craigslist, wherein your main screen can be tailored to your hometown since everything you see, places you go, events you attend and parties you throw are all in the same city.
Hip Invites: Zoji allows you to create pretty awesome invites and send them out to your friends. Your friends can accept your invitation without signing up – which is great! After the event is over, all of your friends can share pictures and post comments on how much fun they had.
Here’s a snippet of my party on Happy Street!
Calendar of Memories: Zoji has a built in calendar that keeps all of your invites and party pictures on the date the event occurred. The calendar gives you an overall view of your adventurous year.

Customization: It wouldn’t be a complete social networking site if you couldn’t customize your profile, and therefore Zoji offers Profile pages VERY similar to Myspace. This should make people happy, right?
Stay “In the Know”: If you are planning to travel to an area or just looking for places close to home, Zoji allows you to search for tasty restaurants, upbeat clubs, and bars within miles of a zip code. Once you find a restaurant that interests you there is an option to “plan an event” right on the restaurant page, which then instantly directs you to the invitation creation station.
Give Props: If you consider yourself well-versed in your city and you know the best dish to eat at the “hole-in-the-wall” diner, you can write a review. You can bring in more business for your favorite place.
Rock On: Who doesn’t love music? You can search “bandz” in your city and see who is playing in your area. You can organize friends to go check out a band, and with a click you can become a fan. Most Zoji promoted bandz have an instant-listen mp3.

Easy Instant Messaging: Zoji has built-in instant messaging. You can see when friends are online and IM them for a quick chat. The best part about this is that there is NO DOWNLOAD!
No Limits: My favorite aspect about Zoji is that you can upload pictures for friends and family to view. Contrary to other social networking sites, Zoji lets you upload full-sized original pictures so recipients can have high quality prints developed, putting an end to tiny, fuzzy, pixelated photos.
Friends: Zoji brings people together and keeps them busy with its various event planning tools. Zoji seems to be pretty cool.
Zoji is a combination of a couple different popular sites, and I think it can work in their best interests.
Check out Zoji.

Thanks a ton for the write-up! It’s REALLY refreshing to hear someone actually take the time to go through the site and notice a lot of the details that we’ve worked on, we appreciate that. We’ve been heads-down programming for quite a while now, and it’s great to surface and get some positive feedback!
As always, we’re completely open to suggestions, the site is made up of thousands of features, tweaks and adjustments largely from user suggestions, and that’s the way we like it. Zoji is a site shaped by you, our users.
Thanks again!
