Sponty facilitates casual social gatherings among friends.

We have been in closed beta since last fall. We were at the MIT TechFair on 2/2/2009. Here are some of the pitches we used at the table:

"Hi, we're Sponty and we want you to be hangoutable. You should see your friends more".

"Unlike other social networks that want you to sit in front of the computer to look at photos and comment on rants, we're trying to use the internets to get you off the internets so that you'd see your friends more. You know, the old fashioned way where you sit with them and gossip over dinner. That way you'll actually be in their photos."

"We're different. Social networks want you to sit in front of the computer all day. We think that's wrong. You should be spending face time with friends."

"We sure are all busy. But we all have to eat at some point. It is more fun to eat dinner with friends".

We're still in closed beta, so here is an invitation link: http://www.thesponty.com/hn

Please let us know your thoughts!
