Thoughts: Planypus Online Event Planner
Planyp.us has launched version ‘2.0’ of their online event planner that I’m sure you’ll love using – it’s basically kind of like a stripped down blog platform and it lets you create and plan events.
As you can see from the screenshot above, the interface is very polished. Creating a new plan and adding polls, location and description about the events is a no-brainer and can be done very quickly. You can see that I created a plan for my birthday party and have added a poll and a location.
You can then invite your friends to have a look at your plan and vote, comment or take any other action like adding the event to their Google Calendar/iCal/Outlook.
Each plan has its own separate page (like every blog post having a separate page and a permalink), and your friends can go to that page to vote on the polls, comment or suggest a different date/time for the event.
When enough friends have taken a look at your plan, and when you think you’re done, just click on the Organize button and then click the ‘Finalize Plan’ link and nail down a date from one of the suggested times.
Your dashboard shows the most recent activity on your plans, listing the comments and other such things added to your plans by your friends.
Planyp.us Platform
That isn’t all. The Planyp.us platform can be hosted on your own site. It’s sort of like self hosted WordPress or Mediawiki and you can get more information here on how to go about using it.
Final Word
Planyp.us, I think, is going to take off – they will surely have a nice fan following just like Remember the Milk has. Planyp.us is not much party-centric, so I think it’ll appeal to a wider crowd. A lot of effort has been put into making the UI as friendly as possible (good AJAX usage and lesser pageloads) and I’m sure it’s going to pay off.
