Skobee: Event Planning through Concensus?

Noam Lovinsky is the founder of Skobee, a new service to help people plan events. They seem to be a direct competitor to Renkoo. The site is currently collecting emails for the beta.

Both Skobee and Renkoo are focused on event planning (as opposed to an evite which looks at organizing people once the event specifics have been finalized). One thing I really like about Skobee is that users just email back and forth, cc'ing a unique skobee email address. Based on the live demo the service seems to be quite good at turning natural language into structured text. For instance, saying "Let's do this on Monday instead" is understood by Skobee as a request for a date change and noted.


It'll be interesting to see whether this approach proves popular. I am not sure whether most people want to actually have a say in what they want to do. Or if people will actually be decisive enough to make a decision to volunteer a vote. How many times have you been in a room trying to figure out what to do with some friends and everyone answers, "I don't know" when the proverbial "What should we do tonight?" question comes out. I think most people want most of the event figured out for them. But, I could be wrong. It's been known to happen.

I do like the service, Meet with Approval, that lets a group of people decide a time
to meet. After trying to organize a lunch meeting with 5 people recently, the utility of that has certainly hit home. I could definitely see elements of certain events chosen by concensus or popular opinions. So, it'll be interesting how skobee tackles this.

Here's there blog to follow along.
