Zanby has a couple of large families of groups, now. From Cafe Press groups (website), to the DFL Links to America for Richardson groups (website), Zanby is supporting a really wide variety of interests and people.

Some of you have written and asked how you can structure a search query from zanby to direct users to a specific set of search results. Try this:

http://zanby.com/groupsearch?search_words=yourkeyword&yourkeyword

Where yourkeyword = your group's special tag or keyword. For example, the DFL Links uses

http://zanby.com/groupsearch?search_words=dfl&links

to direct users to the right set of search results.

The 32 Richardson Groups uses

http://zanby.com/groupsearch?search_words=richardson.

If you want to add more search words, you can just enter more & search words.

OR..you can access the XML feed:

The request looks like:

http://zanby.com/feed/rrr/groups/?sw=searchkeyword&format=4

Where "searchkeyword" is the tag / groupname / etc. that you want to search for. The result is a simple XML file that provides the name of the group, the host, next event info, the location of the group (city / state/ zipcode), the group description, how many members there are in the group, and a link to the group page.

The groups are sorted by region.

Here are some sample feeds:
