Massachusetts based Punchbowl Software is behind MyPunchbowl, an upcoming event planning web application. MyPunchbowl allows users to create party and event invitations, track who’s coming, who’s not, and who has yet to respond.
MyPunchbowl has made setting a date much easier through the help of an algorithm that recommends the best date for your party. Invitees are sent a “Pick-A-Date” email that allows them to select the best date for them from a set of dates supplied by the host; MyPunchbowl will then recommend the optimal date in real-time giving preference to the host and important guests.
Furthermore, the site also allows you to set up message boards and integrate Google Maps’ to display the location. After the party’s over and you’ve cleaned up the spilled wine, MyPunchbowl lets you create an after-party message board where attendees can share comments, photos, and videos. The after-party stage will allow comments, ratings and recommendations.
The ability to not only plan a party, but learn from the experiences of other party planners will be an attractive feature and perhaps give MyPunchbowl an edge over a slew of competitors: Evite, SuggestLocal, Skobee, MadeIt, Socializr, [Manvite] (http://www.crunchbase.com/company/manvite), Zvents, Eventful, ImThere, and Renkoo.
