Evite Me In a week where Yahoo, a traditional "good guy", decided to abuse its entire user base by resetting their spam options to "yes" unilaterally (including your account, if you haven't checked,) Evite continues to be a pleasure to use. Despite the enormous potential of their email service for spam and unecessary advertising, they continue to be a highly effective, low-promotion service that delivers what they promise, for free, with a web site that's responsive and nearly bug-free. I really hope that the targeted advertising within the site itself is generating enough revenue that they can continue to run the high road, but if they do find it necessary to start charging small fees for organizing events, I suspect many people will pay -- I know I find it a time saver I'd be willing to cough up a few bucks for. (Hey, it's less than the cost of one beer at the event.)
Give them a visit and create a "synchronous & local" meeting for your friends -- you'll be glad you did. It does require that your friends have email addresses, but it's practically a reason to get people online in and of itself.
