When abstract artist Gina Raphaela wants to get the word out about shows featuring her paintings in her New York loft condo, she turns to her building’s social networking site, hosted by LifeAt.com. She sends messages to all of the members of her building’s online community, and she reports that plenty of friends and neighbors from the building have been coming to her events. “I’ve met so many people through LifeAt,” Raphaela told TechNewsWorld. “The turnout at my shows has been great.”
