[...] There’s a list of services already lining up to take on the dot com veteran in all their Ajaxy glory. Renkoo, Skobee, and Socializr are a few we’ve covered already. Renkoo and Skobee have diferentiated themselves by incorporating the pre-evite event planning stage, and MyPunchbowl has done the same. The services take provide loose dates and times for events as well as quick ways to talk about events before details are nailed down. [...]

[...] Jetzt sollen also tolle interaktive Plattformen ran. Ical, Vcal, Meebo, SMS - zumindest ausreichend Kommunikationswege sind da. Aber was wenn die Freunde nicht da sind? Die Antwort darauf bleibt noch aus. Skobee vertraut darauf, daß sie alle kommen. Da niemand 3500 kamen bleibt mal wieder ein 2.0-wunder auf der Strecke. Multimedial überschwemmt Renkoo seinen Nutzer mit geschätzten 25 Kommunikationswegen. Auch hier soll sich aber jeder Eingeladene registrieren. Warum sollte er? Darauf finden auch $ 3 Millionen keine Antwort. [...]

I don’t know if my post will show up that I put in earlier today so here goes again. I would like to check out using Renkoo to organize a memorial set to take place on July 1’st. Do I need to be invited? Will everyone I send invites to have to download beta? I think I am running Internet Explorer beta now. If I need to be invited could someone please invite me asap at mickstranded at hotmail dot com? thanks so much.

Oliver, you are right… we contributed our date picker and time picker widgets back to the Dojo Toolkit.

One of the coolest things about Renkoo is their calendar widget. I think they are using Dojo under the covers, but if you get a chance, check it out. The calendar widget is well executed.

Im usually not that negative but my eyes glazed over as soon as I saw those screenshots. I mean pink, c’mon. Mario makes a good point.

“Sko_bee_, Renkoo _bee_ta? Um? Did they happen to hire the same branding firm or what?”

Renkoo had a bee as its mascot since its inception in March 2005. Skobee.com wasn’t registered until Sept. 2005.

“if you take some time to use the site (and I hope you do), you’ll quickly see the monetization opportunities. One hint: plan a few events with your friends — real time — and start thinking about the ways one can monetize.”

I’m sorry but what exactly does that mean? What does planning multiple events have to do with revenue generation? I see no clear money making opportunities (other than banner ads) on the website. $3 million dollars down the drain!

Also, I would love to try it out but would like to know what value it will bring me over Evite? Evite has the same features and has, at times, useful ads.

Sko_bee_, Renkoo _bee_ta? Um? Did they happen to hire the same branding firm or what? I know the bay area’s small..but what are the chances? You’d think 3m in funding might buy you some creativity…instead we get a front page that looks like http://feedicons.com. What the hell? Nonetheless this looks a ton better than evite.

Wireless World: Bundled services market ‘makeover’
A swift makeover in the communications world is under way, as traditional boundaries that once separated wired and wireless services are fast fading away, leading to a creative new era of so-called bundled services, experts tell UPI’s Wireless World.
This transformation of the communications industry is primarily a result of the rapid combination of new technologies — and the evolving, competitive marketplace. By Gene Koprowski

Well, Renkoo seems nice and all, but how better it is than Google Calendar’s own events setter and manager?

Unless it is waaay better, I don’t see how it could suceed.

By the way, what is the business model?
