Earlier quoted context omitted.

Speaking as a human being rather than a L337 haxxor (or however the kids spell it nowadays), I think a photo of happy friends hanging out on the front page would be preferable to screen shots.

That might make it seem kinda fake with stock photographs and all.

Better “This feels fake” than “What the fuck does this do? Looks like they want me to read the FAQ…”

I like the instant feeback thing on the left - very slick! My only complaint is that it forces you to sign up if you want to view the event details. I can do this with Facebook already. I'd like to see more details in the "You're invited..." email. That way I could invite people like my parents (who vaguely understand email, but not how to sign up for this kind of service) to quick & easy events. Forcing a sign up to…

Yes that instant feedback thing is slick! But I thought it said facebook - and I got a little jaded. It must be me.

I saw that, too, for some reason.

Here's an idea for increased contacting functionality.

Let the event manager call a certain number and record a message for the invitation, then have it call everyone and play that message. That way, you have an advantage over picking up the phone and calling people one by one.

Beautifully designed, except for that damn feedback button. Why is everyone copying what I think I first saw on Draftmix? It's not easy for people to read sideways. Put it at the top or bottom of the page so users don't have to cock their head to one side. This seems like a curse of knowledge problem---you and most of us on HN already know what it says because we've seen it before. That doesn't mean it's easy to use,…

quick followup to the feedback button, the 'Let' in 'Let us know...' is cut off when viewed in Safari. Cut off meaning covered up by the feedback block.

Good to know. Thanks!

This is an EVIL site. It sucks in your gmail contacts without even asking for confirmation. And I can't delete my account once I create it.

These guys are potentially HUGE email spammers (why else would they pull in emails without asking) and NO PROFILE DELETE??? Hello.. look at what happened to Facebook when they tried to pull that crap.

STAY AWAY from this site.

Wow...slow down. You didn't like that after you clicked the "Done" button, we thought that you were done? And no, we don't currently have a way to delete your account, but NOTHING in your account is currently public! We will have a way to delete accounts in the future, but we need to figure out what to do with the events you've created, comments you wrote, etc. So settle down, and if you have specific concerns, let us know and we'll work with you.
