the founders have no experience in setting this up

@Jason:

Thanks for your comment. My table was intended to compare features that relate specifically to Planning, Pulishing, Promotion and Monetization — this probably reflects the potential of each company’s product more than anything else. Although I do mention on my blog that it’s by no means a conclusive comparison, I think I should make it more clear to readers. I’ll update the post soon to weigh in on that — for example, Going has high quality content since they are only open to five cities, but at the same time that makes them somewhat irrelevant.

Our goal is to successfully address all the needs of event management for industry, artists, and individuals. The table includes features we feel are required to accomplish that.

If you have any more recommendations, feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Christopher Golda
Founder, IPartee

tyler, its obvious that these founders have no experience actually organizing events. if they did, they would see the answer is staring them in the face

Chaz going is just the next in line to the social events play that mirrors friendster, myspace, facebook…. I’d like to see a comparison of the event sites doesn’t group them on the context of events. That’s like comparing Google, Yahoo, and Facebook because they are all major portals to the web. iPartee is interesting but the founder made a stupid mistake by creating that biased and incomplete comparison (what about comprehensiveness, quality of results or relevance?); still, it is interesting because it is different: Perhaps the new solution to managing events. That isn’t the same as the eventful, going, upcoming social battle (are they still “upcoming”?? ha) nor zvents local search engine.

I question their biz model with that stupid “me too” name. The name is part of the biz model Joey.

all of these guys are completely missing the boat when it comes to their biz model. incredible

Wow, this is totally overshadowing today’s launch of Crackr.com….

Both are promising I’d say…

I am surprise you did not mention French website http://www.uneinvitation.com or German website http://www.amiando.de

both of them having actual revenues.

It is indeed a croweded marketplace and few of them have an actual business plan…

This stupid crunchbase shit is out of control, takes up a whole page. This just emphasizes how dumb these widgets are.

@12: Planypus is a pretty stupid ass name. Not as bad as iPartee, but that is faint praise at best.

By: Yan

Hehe, I love how tc consistently leaves out Planypus (disclosure: I’m the CEO) when mentioning competitors in the event planning space but continues to mention long-dead Skobee. So much for good ol’ journalistic research. But it’s ok, we’ve gotten over it. No love from the crunch…that’s cool.

Besides, we’re doing something more interesting and relevant than competing with Evite. But that’s in stealth mode right now. But I digress.

I think the i is meant to be uppercase as in I Partee

I question a company’s creativity if they have to use ‘i’. Leave the ‘i’s to Apple. Make up a word like everyone else.

I hope their biz plan revolves around Facebook and Open Social. Otherwise this is a dud!

Evite caters to a general audience as opposed to iPartee which seems to target the same audience as Going, Clubvibes, Involver, MingleNow, and most of the above.

Evite, Eventful, and Zvents clearly target more than the club going audience.

Good luck to iPartee.
