It’s a neat idea, but to me it’s a feature and not a product. It belongs as an added feature of an already-established and thought-out UI. Is this the way new features have to incubate in the web 2.0 world?

This seems obvious to me, but folks want to be able to customize the look of their scheduling site - could it really be that difficult? eVite lets you do it to a certain extent - that’s huge. people having a semi-serious meetup, for instance, don’t want to have a happy-birthday-childrens-balloons background, and vice-versa.

That’s where Google’s going while nobody’s looking. Calendar is the base. Add what they’ve learned with their home page creator - together, you get evite + renkoo + etc - all on crack.

[...] As for the online invites, we know that most people use Evite for this kind of activity. Evite was really good during the Dot Com Era and we’ve used it quite often for setting up different events and such. However, the service became outdate over the years. With all of the ads and cluttered interface, we know we wanted to find something more refreshing. Of course these days, the service has to be “Web 2.0” to make the cut. Then enters Skobee! We found this site from a post at Techcrunch. As Michael Arrington puts it, “If you plan events with friends using email, Skobee is going to make your life a lot easier.” [...]

[...] Renkoo, like competitor Skobee, helps people plan events (the pre-evite stage). Want to gather a couple of friends and discuss when and where to have drinks next week? Renkoo is a perfect choice to help you do this. Socializr, Friendster founder Jonathan Abrams’ new startup, is also rumored to be entering this space. [...]

[...] Renkoo is one of a number of new Web 2.0 event creation companies that I’ve had a chance to preview (see also Skobee). Renkoo was founded by CEO Adam Rifkin (founder of KnowNow) and CTO Joyce Park (formerly lead engineer at Friendster). Launch date: “soon”.

Interesting idea, but I’m very wary about any site/application/whatever that wants your friends email addresses. Just another way for someone to ‘harvest’ email addresses?

WRT to spam from eVite… I’ve never received an unsolicited E-mail from eVite. I suppose they may sell my name to someone else. I figure it’s only a matter of time before this outfit, Skobe, kobe, Scooby, whatever, decides to do the same because some VC or Wall St. analyst is breathing down their neck for numbers. Is it the book of Ecclesiates(sp?) that comments that there is nothing new under the sun?

I certainly hope that skobee is better than eventful which forces people to have a username to reply to an event (even if they were invited.) The basics are so important here.

how is this different from evite?

They won’t spam you and all your friends?

Seriously, have you read Evite’s privacy policy lately?

Don’t pass judgement until you’ve used the app. Many of you seem to think that its missing functionality. I can assure you, it’s all there. Give it a try, I believe you’ll be impressed.

In the interest of full-disclosure, my company did the UI, but the gem is the app itself.
