Comments on: Goovite - Another Evite Alternative http://mikemadaio.com/goovite-another-evite-alternative User Experience * Usability * Emerging Technologies Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:02:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.3 by: Jay http://mikemadaio.com/goovite-another-evite-alternative#comment-97851 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:55:53 +0000 http://mikemadaio.com/goovite-another-evite-alternative#comment-97851 Thanks for the article! Yeah, I'm behind the times but it is still relevant because Evite still stinks. They have recently started screwing up the recurring evites (mine keep getting deleted or just creating a draft and not being sent out) and their customer service has been absolutely horrible. I hope Goovite is a better alternative. Thanks for the article! Yeah, I’m behind the times but it is still relevant because Evite still stinks.

I've used it for about 4 or 5 years now, and they have taken such repeated steps backward in both ease of use and robustness of interface that I am now committed to finding an alternative. If there isn't one, this sounds like a good business opportunity for someone with that inclination. Too bad, Evite - You're in the process of losing what I imagine is perhaps 95% market share... But, you completely brought it on yourselves... Evite stinks!

I'm seriously looking for an alternative that will work for my group.

I really like evite, but their latest round of updates stinks. The unfolding card is awful. I liked it a lot better when I could see everything all at once. Now I have to scroll around in one of their little frames just to read the invitation. I've sent them a number of emails on it and the new bugs they introduced. They seem to be gradually fixing the bugs but I'd be surprised if they update their interface back to the nice prior version. I agree. I really like evite, but their latest round of updates stinks.

I absolutely LOOOOVE evite, but I became frustrated with evite recently because they changed their structure to disallow use of HTML in creating the invitation description. I can't imagine why they took this giant step backwards. They tried to go the way of a WYSIWYG editor, but any good WYSIWYG editor always includes a code view option.
