Comments on: Evite Alternatives http://www.scurrilous.com/blog/archives/2007/03/30/evite-alternatives/ What does it mean to be scurrilous? I'll try to demonstrate...

Its a shame your hotmail invite did not come through ....Our emails are instantaneous but some of our emails get caught in the hotmail spam filter. According to studies 1 of 5 legit emails get lost in Hotmail's spam filter. Thus Hotmail has a false positive of 20%!!!! This is not an excuse and we are trying really hard to figure out a way around this... but to be honest with you so far we have not been very successful. All other email clients work well except Hotmail :). If you have another account, we would love if you give us another try. If not we will try to keep plugging away at this Hotmail mess and see if we can finally resolve it. THanks again, Cheer! Hi,

By the way Skobee is no longer maintained by its founders - http://gigaom.com/2006/08/25/from-best-in-show-to-side-project-in-six-months/ - and they no longer fix bugs or release new features :(, shame because they were one of the few services on your list that actually had innovative features.

I did the site tour of Skobee, and my favorite part is their activity choice: "Let's get raging drunk", and the time they select is "Today, breakfast." Nice example for their target demographic.

I despise evite.com - but it seems to have a stranglehold on the market. I haven't actually used it, but I found http://www.pingg.com to be nice looking. Thanks for the list.
