The Duo sift through their bookmark lists and spot a site you offline socialites ought to have on your own short lists. Looking for a non-virtual spot for that gathering? Take a look at Eventective.com. Tell it where you'd like to be and the site will tell you what's available in the area--reception halls, meeting rooms, all those places where you and your friends are welcome. The site currently claims listings for more than 16,000 facilities and more than 39,000 event spaces.
And this wouldn't be a show about socializing if Steve and Angela didn't include Evite. (Ah, Evites, muses Angela--gotta start answering those things.) It's a wonderfully simple idea, and plenty of people make use of the service.
Here's the deal. You're planning a party? Get all your guests' e-mail addresses and make a list. Evite lets you build a good-looking invitation and, when you're ready, send it to everyone on your list. As people RSVP, the site keeps track of who'll be showing up--and who's too rude to respond. (Hello, Angela?) The site can help you out with, again, venue selection and things like that. But managing the guest list? Gotta love that.
