Section 5. fling!
fling(n) is defined as "A brief indulgence of your impulses." When our designer heard this, he thought about all the quick little get-together things that we do sometimes, like a sunday jog or a gathering at the local club. In that spirit, fling is designed as a quick buddy grabber for micro-events. They require little planning, and little feedback.

To start a fling, simply use the main toolbar under the logo.


Section 6. Organizing Groups
Need to assemble a mailing list? Track events as a team? Want to let others follow your events?
Groups were designed as the gathering points for multiple people. A funsoon group can be created by importing an existing mailing list, or using your friend lists. funsoon can help make group management and communication easy by providing static pages for each group.


Section 7. Why Tags and Keywords?
Simple: speed! Tags and keywords allow you to quickly find your friends from a pool of names. The tags that you enter into the "Friends" page are private to you. Your friends do not see what you have written down as a way to remember your friends. Events can also tap into this fast method of recalling others using keyword search.

Groups may use keywords to let others know what the group is all about. This allows communities of people with similar interests to come together.
