Skobee - Make Plans and Hang Out
Written by Ruhani Rabin on March 10, 2006.
If you plan events with friends using email, Skobee is going to make your life a lot easier.
Instead of contacting all of the friends you would like to plan an event with through the normal channels (IM, email, phone, etc.) and trying to keep things organized, Skobee has a dead simple and better way to handle it. Create a new event, put in vague or definite information on location and date/time, and add emails for people you’d like to include. Skobee will then send out emails to each person along with the current event information, and they can register for the site if they are a new user . Here’s where things get interesting: those people can add new participants, and suggest changes to the date or place by leaving a comment with natural language. Skobee will structure the data and update the event information for everyone. And even better: instead of logging into the site and leaving a comment, participants can simple “reply all” to the email, which includes “plans@skobee.com”, and skobee will figure out what event is being discussed, add a comment to the event page automatically, and update accordingly.

Intention of this Site is ::
- Make plans with people "Let’s grab dinner sometime next week."
"We’re going hiking this weekend."
- Check out what friends are doing "What’s everyone up to this weekend?"
"Anyone free to hang out on Tuesday?"
- Discover where everyone is going "Which club is most popular tonight?"
"Where do people go in my neighborhood?"
