h3. The best way to plan social gatherings

Skobee is developing a planning and scheduling service for everyday events—events like “drinks after work” or “dinner next week.” These types of events occur often in our daily lives and are typically organized via email or instant messaging.

However, these technologies fall short because they do not accommodate the numerous changes and iterative nature of planning everyday events. A few friends organizing a dinner date or even two colleagues attempting to arrange a lunch meeting often run into the limitations of email as replies back and forth quickly become unmanageable.

Furthermore, when the scheduled time approaches, recalling the details of the event from the black hole that is most people’s inbox proves difficult and valuable information like directions, reservations, or friends’ opinions is absent. As a result, even these relatively small gatherings of three to five people are often too big to plan via email alone and currently there is no Web application that addresses this need.

Skobee not only enhances the current email experience by putting all the relevant data at the user’s fingertips, but Skobee will become the tool of choice when planning any type of gathering via the Web, email, IM, or mobile phone.
