Thanks for providing your feedback.

- We're using Facebook as the conduit to sign up for the app, and we're hoping that encourages user.

- Our "angle", is social potluck. First, the user categorizes their contacts in groups depending on how well the know them (besties, pals, acquaintances and so on). Then, the user can send an event invite (can be public or private) to one or more groups of contacts. At that point, the invites are sent out to a random set of people in that group and the first ones to accept get to attend the invite.

My making it social potluck, the app makes it more likely that you'll meet up with contacts you might not otherwise make the effort to meet, or might find it a bit too forward to invite.

- we're going to a name that would stick in the mind. something that would be fun to say as well...
