Other Stuff:
Jonathan Abrams is an award-winning serial entrepreneur, the founder & CEO
of the new online event service
Socializr,
and co-owner of San Francisco nightclub
Slide.
Jonathan was hailed as
“The Social Pioneer”
by Vanity Fair in June 2008
for creating the pioneering social networking service
Friendster.
“Evite is great if you're gonna party like it's 1999
–
because that's where the site has been stuck for nearly a decade.
To announce your next high-stakes Scrabble tourney, try Socializr,
brought to you by Friendster founder Jonathan Abrams. It's Evite 2.0, finally.”
– Wired
“Jonathan Abrams knows a good party.
He co-owns Slide, a trendy bar in San Francisco.
Perhaps the largest gathering he has organized so far is Friendster,
the Internet site that kick-started the social networking phenomenon in 2003.
He's returning to the social-networking scene with Socializr,
an Internet destination based on something he knows well: being,
well, social. Socializr can be described as Friendster or MySpace
paired with Evite, the online invitation site.”
– San Francisco Chronicle
“One of the most intriguing aspects of San Francisco's recent resurgence
has been the appearance of several speakeasies – bars modeled on the
Prohibition-era establishments famous for their bootleg liquor and
enticing illegality. Newly opened Slide is perhaps the most popular
and swankiest of these. Built on the site of an actual speakeasy,
Slide reflects its owner's desire to bring the history of
San Francisco into a nightclub atmosphere.”
