We have just finished making very important updates to ActiveCiti and you can check out the website online.
If you have logged on and are wondering what the changes are (besides the opening page looking slightly different) – don’t worry. The changes are not visible :)
Most of the changes have been made to the internal workings of ActiveCiti. The UI has been changed at very few places (though expect to see changes over the coming days)
We have hammered away and tweaked at the internal gears that make ActiveCiti tick and have shaved off tremendous amounts of fat from the system which was slowing down the website at places.
You will definitely notice quite some performance improvement at lots of places.
We’ve added two new features which will help you in promoting your event!
1. Share your public event page on social content sharing websites!
We have added a widget to all the public event pages which will allow anyone visiting the page to share the page on other social content sharing and social network websites like digg, facebook, etc.
Now you can promote your event with just one click!

2. Featured Events are now Active
The featured events bar on your calendar page will now show a randomly chosen featured event every time you open up the page. This feature was a long time coming.
Incase you are organizing a public event and would like to get the word out to the ActiveCiti community, just send us a message using our Contact Us page and we’ll see what we can do.
If your event matches our criteria for being listed as a featured event, we’ll make it one so that you can have more visitors checking your event page out!

Besides this, we have also spruced up our main page to give people pointers on what tools they can use to organize and plan different types of events. To know more, head to our main page and click any of icons at the bottom of the page.
I am sure a lot of you would be surprised at the many features we have that you didn’t know about.
We’ll be rolling out more changes and features in the coming weeks.
So stay tuned to this page …
