Mijn Agenda
Mijn Agenda (of Calender) geeft een op pagina-breed overzicht van alle activeiten van de maand. In het rood zijn aangegeven alle activiteiten waaraan je zelf deelneemt. Onze beloof: binnenkort is het al rood wat de klok slaat!
Vind een Activiteit
Er is een hele reeks van sportieve, culturele en recreatieve activiteiten.
Eelke activiteit heeft zijn eigen Activiteiten Profile, met relevante informatie zoals Tijd, Plaats, Vereist minimum aantal Deelnemers, Kostprijs enzovoort.
Activiteiten Profiel vertel je ook of de activieit al dan niet werd grecreerd door een individuaal Getalifelid, of door een Groep.
Organiseer een Activiteit (Activiteiten Profiel)
Op Getalife kun je zoveel activiteiten creeeren als je maar wilt. Je kunt zelf kiezen wie mee doet, en andere leden persoonlijk uitnodigen.
Je kunt publieke en private activiteiten organiseren.
Een publieke activiteit is voor iedereen toegankelijk.
Om mee te doen met een private activiteit heb je eerst de toestemming nodig van de organisator.
The belangrijkste onderdelen van een Activiteiten Profile zijn:
- Type of soort activiteit (bvb. tennis)
- Naam van de activiteit (bvb. Sociaal Tornooitje)
- Practische informatie, zoals Plaats en Datum
- Een korte beschrijving
- Het minimum en maximum aantal deelnemers
- Links naar de het Ledenprofiel van de al ingeschreven leden (zo weet je altijd wie ze zult ontmoeten tijdens de activiteit)
Vind Leden, Vrienden, Activiteit partners
You can search for Activity Partners by Type of Interest, Age, Area and other criteria, so you'll soon find people to join your activity or event.
Our Member Activity Preferences give you even more relevant information, like Proficiency Levels, Favorite Venues, Favorite Day and Time.
Groups
Find Activity Group
Easy searching by type of activity means you will soon find the activity groups you’d like to join.
Create Activity Group
An Activity Group is a group created by a Getalife member – called the Group Owner - and can have a limited or unlimited number of group members (depending on the Owner’s preferences).
An Activity Group's members can organise activities, whereby all members are automatically invited.
Simply start your own Activity Group, and invite other members to join. Getalife’s Group Communication Services, Group Events Calendars and Group Profiles are designed to encourage your Activity Group's members to regularly attend your group activities and create more of their own.
Group Profile
Each group has a Group Profile, compiled (and able to be edited) by the group’s Owner.
A Group Profile gives members relevant information about any particular Activity Group, such as the Activity Category, the group Owner, Group Members and the Group Activities.
The Group Profile also tells you whether it's a private or a public group.
Member who wish to join a ‘private’ group need to get explicit approval from the Group’s Owner.
Public groups are open to anyone – members wishing to join one simply click the 'join' tab on the Group Profile.
The main elements of a Group Profile are:
- Activity Type
- Group Name
- A photo – ideally this is a photo you've uploaded yourself. If you choose not to upload a photo, Getalife will automatically display a photo that represents the Group’s Activity Type.
- A short description - this is the first thing other members will read, so it's important to make it stand out and increase your chances of being invited to other activities.
- Public or Private
My Groups
This page gives you an overview of all the groups of which you're a member (or the Owner). There's no limit to how many Activity Groups you can join or create.
To keep track of your Activity Groups, go to the Home Page and click on the 'Group' link. This takes you to the Group Page, where the “My Groups” link is.
Hot Deals
Members get special discounts on products and services posted on the site, either by us or by one of our business partners.
My Service Settings
You can ask Getalife to notify you of new activities and/or new members. Members can be notified in real time or periodically, via email, message board and/or SMS.
Category Pages
From the left-hand navigation bar on the Home Page, you can go to one of Getalife’s three category pages: Sports, Arts and Performance or Lifestyle and Leisure.
These category pages give you a complete overview of all Members, Activities, Groups and Hot Deals in any specific category.
My Contacts
Your Contact List is your essential networking tool on Getalife. It gives you a complete overview of all your contacts. From here you can invite friends to your activities, or to join (one of) your activity groups.
To access My Contacts, you need to log in first.
My Invitations
My Invitations shows all activities that you've created, or been invited to.
It also gives you an overview of the onsite email messages you've sent or received.
Plus, My Invitations keeps track of all the invitations you've sent to and received from other members, activity groups and from Getalife itself.
You can view the invitations and messages you've received. Just click on the Invitation Name.
My Profile
The main elements of My Profile are:
- Your photo (which you'll need to upload) - not that we think looks matter when you're wearing a scuba wetsuit; but a photo might help your Activity Partners recognize you at the boat shed when you meet up!
- A short description - this is the first thing other members will read, so it's important to make it stand out and increase your chances of being invited to other activities.
- Multiple choice information fields - for details like Age, Gender, Education, State, etc. This info is very useful to members in their searches, so it's a good idea to fill them in and increase your chances of coming up in their search results.
- Activity Preferences – one of the keys to your success on Getalife. (See next section)
Activity Preferences
Members can create several Activity Preferences, one for each of your favourite activities.
This way, you can supply relevant info like ‘Favourite Venues’, ‘Proficiency Level’ and ‘Favorite Time/Date’. The Activity Preferences help Getalife – and its members - invite the right people to the right activity.
The main elements of your Activity Preferences are:
- Favourite Activity – just select an activity from the drop-down menu.
- Proficiency – you can tell members your level of proficiency for each activity. This is especially useful if you'd rather not play tennis against a top 10 ranked professional (Unless your name is Andre Agassi.) Of course, this makes more sense for some activities (e.g. tennis) than for others (e.g. dining).
- Favourite Venue – for each of your favourite activities, you can tell other members your Favourite Venue.
- Your Activity Profile is the key to your success on Getalife, so be sure to spend some time completing it.

Hoe werkt Getalife?
De snelste manier om dat uit te vinden is door je gewoon gratis aan te melden. Of neem de site tour.
In een notedop, Getalife biedt je een brede waaier van 'site tools' aan om mensen te ontmoeten, en vrienden te maken en aan leuke activiteiten deel te nemen. Deze activiteiten worden georganiseerd door andere leden (en dus niet door een of andere tour operator, clubleiding of toeristische dienst). Alles mag: van een eenvoudig bioscoop bezoek, tot een schattenzoektocht in de Vlaamse Ardennen. Leden kunnen:
- Zich aansluiten bij activiteiten die door andere leden zijn georganiseerd (van zeilen tot wandelen tot wijnproeven) of…
- Zelf een activiteit organiseren en anderen uitnodigen om meet te doen.
- Zich aansluiten bij een groep
- Zelf een groep opstarten
- Participeren in forums en chatten
- alles!
Op Getalife.be, wordt je persoonlijk uitgenodigd door mensen die je graag hebt, om mee te doen met activiteiten die je graag doet. Beter nog: bij Getalife.be wordt je uitgenodigd om wie je bent (en niet omdat je de zoveelste potentiele klant bent van een of andere touroperator of organisatie).
De activiteit kan eenmalig zijn - bijvoorbeeld een ontmoeting met Sofie voor een partijtje tennis volgende woensday. Of het kan een wederkerende belevenis zijn – bijvoorbeeld de 's woensdagse Hit ‘n Giggle Tennis Tribe.
De sleutel is je Profiel, Daarmee kun je anderen vertellen wat je interesses zijn, je lievelings bezigheden, enzovoort. Via jouw Profiel kunnen andere leden van de website je contacteren. Ze kunnen je een berichte sturen, of een uitnodiginf tot een activiteit of een group.
Wat voor mensen worden lid?
Getalife leden zijn er in alle maten en gewichten, met uiteenlopende achtergronden, beroepen en interesses. Getalife leden zijn actieve individuen die uit de dagelijks sleur breken.
Getalife leden zijn van alle leedtijden, met de grootste concentratie tussen 30 en 50.
Is Getalife enkel voor singles?
Natuurlijk niet. Getalife is er voor iedereen ...single of gehuwd, vader of moeder, superheld of zetelpatat. De meerderheid van onze leden zijn single. Maar we zijn koppels, zelfs hele gezinnen sluiten zich bij Getalife aan om toegang te hebben tot een steeds groter wordende waaier van leden, activiteiten en groepen.
Why should I become a member?
- Do you love to dine out in the company of friends?
- Do you like to be invited to surprise club parties?
- Do you hate to go to the movies all by yourself?
- Do you like ticket discounts and VIP treatments?
- None of your friends like bush walking or theatre?
- Would you love the locals to show you around the sites?
- Want to take your date on a sailing trip?
If you have a taste for adventure and a zest for life, and you'd like a safe, relaxed environment to play in then Getalife is for you. Once you've joined Getalife, you will be personally invited to more than 200 weekly activities and groups, organised by other members. Anything from sailing, to bushwalking, theatre visits, bookclubs or friday night drinks.
And yes, even if you're looking for a romantic match, Getalife offers several advantages over online dating services – see table below.
| Getalife Benefits | How |
|---|---|
| Instant gratification | Activities and events are organised instantly, and participation can begin almost immediately |
| Unlimited in scope | Getalife’s content is created by its own members, and its services are for everybody, regardless of marital status, age or interest. |
| Emotionally safe, low social pressure | Meeting people to participate in activities of shared interest involves little emotional pressure – romantic appetites are irrelevant or a bonus at best. |
| Non-patronising | Getalife is not just for the lonely hearts. Getalife is based on social group activities not just one-to-one romance. Getalife’s users want to do stuff and that’s cool. It’s OK to be single; it’s not OK to be bored! |
| Flexible | Getalife allows users to meet people for activities anytime, anyhow and anywhere they want |
| Cheap | After initial promotion, Getalife’s membership rate is set at an average of $15 month |
| Group focus | Two’s a company; three’s a Life! Getalife allows its members to create activity groups, and participate in group events. |
Hoeveel kost het om lid te worden van Getalife?
Het lidmaatschap van Getalife bedraagt 2 Euro per maand. Let wel: dit lidgeld wordt pas ingevoerd wanneer een immens aanbod aan activiteiten, groepen en andere leden dit verrechtvaardigt. Dit is voorlopig nog niet het geval.
En omdat je een van de eersten bent om zich bij Getalife.be aan te sluiten, gunnen we je sowieso graag een gratis lidmaatchap tot 1 maart 2007.
Waar wacht je dus nog op? Maak snel je profiel op (duurt 2 minuutjes), en nodig een paar leden uit naar jouw favoriete activiteiten en groepen!
