I phone them and they let me know. I never understood why people refuse to talk on phones now that the internet is here.
I've had a friend relate a story of how another friend told her they should catch up and to email her, when she was standing right in front of them.
Phones work well, but only for a very small number of people. Beyond that it becomes virtually impossible to update the whole group to changes in time, location, ect.
Phone trees are implicitly massively parallel, and can deliver messages to a set of recipients in logarithmic time.
I use facebook. 99% of the people I want to invite are already on there. If they aren't, I can invite them by email address. Works perfectly fine.
Most people that we've talked to about using facebook for events say that unless they're creating a large event, it's not worth going through facebook's multiple step process with a bunch of required fields. Any opinion on that?
How do you guys plan to make money?
We have lots of ideas for making money, all of which add value to the users. Currently, we're just looking to build a solid user base and confirm that we're on the right path of making something that people actually want.
