Wevent.com is a new event based social network, currently in private beta. Wevent takes a new approach to social networking, focusing on events instead of individuals. The idea is to look at the activities that friends do together and the places they go as a basis for networking. Features include social photo sharing, event invitation and management, shared events networking, and a lot more.

Here’s how Andy Hin, one of the founders, explains the new service:

Say you have a group of friends you go on a camping trip with. Before, if you wanted to find photos of the trip, you’d see two or three albums across different profiles because everyone used their own camera and only uploaded on their own pages. We wanted to make it easier to share photos of an event, so there’s a single place we can upload and connect through. We call it ‘social album-ing’.

Wevent is social networking with a purpose, and goes beyond networking just for the sake of networking. Wevent takes a fresh approach to a somewhat crowded space, and it’s very well executed.

The guys at Wevent have given me 100 beta invitations to pass out. To get one, just email me with “Wevent” in the subject line or post a comment with your email address filled in (it won’t show up on the site, but I’ll be able to see it).
