  • Re: your twitter, I just got an evite this week for a baby's 1yo birthday party. The sender wouldn't be considered web2.0 savvy, at least in terms of the 'cool' web sites out there to send invites. Now that I think of it, I've gotten 2-3 other evites in the past from others in the same circle.

    I get the sense that evite is still a player among non-techie, casual web users who are more concerned with getting the word out about something rather than using the newest, coolest, most integrated app.

    I use Eventbrite for large events, but it seems complex and oriented towards large functions and paid events rather than social invitations like to parties. Another one that's simple and interesting is ImThere (www.imthere.com), though it's its own social network and therefore gaining critical mass to be useful among friends is an issue.

    For me, I'd just as soon use Facebook's events, and have, even with people who aren't on Facebook. It's integrated with what I'm doing every day and I don't have to go anywhere else to manage my events. I can even add them to my Google Calendar (that I sync with iCal, Thunderbird, etc).
