i like it more than evite for sure. there are some little issues but i am sure you will work those out. some of the UE needs work like adding info to the profile. no biggies though. i am looking forward to see how the event ID can be use to show fotos, vids, friends, etc.
Let us know what you think of the sharespace page once you get some content tagged.
PG says to get your site out early and often, so thats what we're trying to do. We're far from finished, but feel its about time to take the ultimate test, and show the news.yc crowd. Our Site: http://coordinatr.com is a site designed to give you the necessary tools to quickly and effectively coordinate plans with your friends, without any unnecessary garbage to slow you down.

Congratulations on all your hard work. It's a nice looking, easy to use site. That said, here are a few issues. 1) It has a very silly name. The whole fad of misspelled words has run is course. I think it automatically associates your site with the whole concept of "yet another web2ish site", which simply won't last forever. 2) There is a serious lack of screenshots on the page. Show me what you do and how you do it,…

I'm not sure how we would integrate with twitter. What are you thinking we could share between the two?
allow me to be alerted of events i am invited to, rsvp to events, and create events over sms, let all of my twitter friends see that I am attending X event could be a good way to spread virally if people see in their twitter feed 'susie is attending X ( coordinator.com/event/X )' doesn't necessarily have to be twitter just some kind of sms integration would be nice if u really want to be the evite of small events, i…
2. The first thing you did was ask me for e-mail and password. You did not give me a chance to try out your service. You did not give me a chance to see what it's about. You were unable to get me to type in my e-mail.
3. Your site is all about people and social events -- why are you using business-speak to sell it? Micro-events? Would a teenager or a college kid think that a "micro-event" is a cool place to be?
4. I didn't think your site was ugly until I read your "faq" asking why the site was so ugly. Then I was like .. hmm .. I think he's right ...
5. What determines if a user will switch from an existing system to a new system? if (valueAddFromNewSystem - painOfSwitchingToNewSystem) > (valueFromOldSystem * lazinessMultiplier), then people will switch. You have no control over the values of valueFromOldSystem or lazinessMultiplier. Here's my question to you: How do you think you are doing on the values of valueAddFromNewSystem and painOfSwitchingToNewSystem?
Notes on Coordinator:
Home page after login: Text says "Sorry, you currently don't have any events listed."
No reason to be sorry. I would change to: "No events listed (or, You haven't planned anything yet!). Click here to add an event!" or something that provides a way to change the fact that there are not yet any events.
On creating an event: The date box doesn't have a default date shown. I can't see what today is. Maybe make the current day show up a different color or have days in the past grayed out.
On friends: Longer names get extended past the box representing friends, instead of wrapping or adjusting.
Contact Us link at the bottom of the page should bring me to a page with forms to fill out, not attempt to open outlook or whatever program I use for email. If I want to email you with these, provide your email address on the "Contact Us" page.
Last thing, the pages don't have a "What's next" button. Meaning, After I add friends, I'm brought back to the page to invite more friends. There's no "Thanks for adding friends. We'll let you know when they accept. Here's the button to go back to the home page."
The site looks good. I don't know if these things were covered already, but I went through and made a list of things that I would change. I sent it to you on the "Feedback" form too.

Thanks again for taking the time to provide your input. Please let us know if you have any other suggestions as you continue to use the site.
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…
Here's a way you could get people to start inviting without registering. You let them go through the whole thing, and add their own address at the end. They hit send, but the mail to the other people doesn't actually go out until they've finished the registration. That way, they're more invested in actually going through with it than if they have to register to even get in.

You spelled "coordinator" wrong
