I agree that the load times are slow and the site is dated. It's not a good user experience.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of competing sites launched in the next few years, as the technology progresses. I just launched my own site:

Here is a new kid on the block, with some nice intend. It allows to link social events to non-profit organizations.

It does not look like Auren has done his research. There are dozens of event management and event registration websites out there. And they are getting better and better.
EventBrite (formerly MollyGuard) is a a very decent generic service and our own product Wild Apricot (WildApricot.com) is an example of a vertically focused one (we handle event registrations as one of the aspects of non-profit and grassroot groups management).

Evite, doesn't that mean "Avoid" in Spanish? I wonder who named it?

Did not realize that investors are not allowed to have strong opinions. The responses seem very hostile and not taclking the issues like Auren brought up with Evite, rather slamming him and his opinions. Not sure blogs have to have same journalistic rules as newspapers. Blogs were designed to have free information flow without editorial interference. If you all need edited content wall street journal is still in business ;-))

I hope he paid for that ad space. I love Evite and because of this blatant bashing I will NEVER EVER use Socializr. I think Auren should stick to business because he clearly lacks any journalistic integrity.

I agree that the load times are slow and the site is dated. It's not a good user experience.

But that's not really it for me. For me I hate it because Evite is about the organizer and not about the guests. I have no problem with people using Evite for formal events where you need a head count. But it seems to me that a lot of Type A personalities use the service to force structure on social interactions that don't need or require it. It is overused. It makes me RSVP to a happy hour like I would to board meeting. It's just too top down for my tastes.

Ok, so I bit and took a look at Socializr.com. About 5 seconds in they lost my attention. No screen-shots, no demo, no real compelling information. The UI is horrible...looks like something I built in 2001.

Cute verbiage here and there about being founded in 1848 during the California Gold Rush, but not very much Web 2.0 going on there.

Maybe their hiding all the good stuff behind the Login curtain, but I would never know. I'm not giving up my creds just to have a look-see.

PS: Always disclose your personal interests in a clear or pronounced way at the top or bottom of your piece. Otherwise, in the blogosphere, you'll get slammed like this.

disclosure is the only issue here, his opinion is his investment thesis . . any entrepreneur should have the gusto to do this, but any journalist should have the foresight to not allow this op-ed.

Lastly anyone notice the side swipe at eBay? which is also self motivated?

Did anybody notice this line:

"I was floored, impressed, and just blown-away. Now I just get bored, stressed, and have grown astray."

That's a pretty clever rhyme...talented.

I'm with the others in feeling it's inappropriate to have an investor in the competition featured as the rant of the day. Comments may be true but credibility gap is simply too high.
