Quickvite lets you organize your next party on the go

All of us at one point or another has gotten an Evite to a function. Everything from holiday parties to all-night benders are often organized on the site. Invitees are typically sent an email letting them know they've been invited to a particular shindig, and can respond with a yes, no, or maybe as well as leave a comment as to why or why not they're going to attend for the host and other potential guests to check out.

So, what do you do if you want to organize one of those all night benders tonight and you're not sure if everyone is going to check their email in time to get the word?

Evite launched a new service this week designed to make planning an event on the fly. The service Quickvite allows users to create a plan on the web or their mobile phone and then send it out to their guests via email and text message simultaneously. Invitees can respond in the traditional Evite way via the web, or they can text message back their RSVP for the potential throw down, making it possibly for you to organize your bar crawl when you're already at the bar.

Evite simultaneously launched a mobile WAP site which is designed for users to access their social calendar through their mobile phone, it's also where users will create and send their invitations through QuickVite. All of this is part of phase two of "Evite Mobile." The first phase being the Evite send-to-phone function launched in September that allows users to send event details from the site to their phone so they can reference them later on. In the next few weeks Evite plans on making another addition, rolling out a Facebook app for QuickVite allowing users to invite both Facebook and non-Facebook users to the same party from one place. They also have a downloadable application for mobile phones in the works, so your phone can always be where the party's at...or at least planned anyway.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
