Randomized Output

So, hopefully everyone got the invite I sent for the bday festivities using anyvite.com (if you didn’t, let me know and I’ll resend). Heard about it via one of Laura’s friends and having messed around with it, I think it’s better than evite by a large margin.

It’s got a sweet new ajax’d interface, account creation is super quick, and there aren’t the annoying ads / hoops that you have to jump through to use it (unlike evite). It’s clearly still in beta so there’s little things that they’re working on (like better privacy controls), but I think the overall package is worth dealing with the little issues.

Oh, when you add the location, it will add the google maps link automatically and when you click on the link, it’ll dynamically place it on the main page. It also has options for adding the event directly to your google calendar via openauth.

It facilitates migration from evite as well with some pretty nifty tools for bringing over guest lists. Also, it has super cute icons!

So, I hope we all switch from evite. woot.
