Some of you may have used the
Evite service to schedule and invite guests to events. I've used it on several occasions, and it's generally been helpful in tracking RSVPs, sending out reminders, and serving other useful functions. One of its most recent useful functions is the addition of a
carpool feature that allows you to rideshare with other event attendees.
The features uses a map that plots the origin of other attendees and allows you to send them a carpool request, which the attendee can either accept or decline all through the Evite interface. Once your carpool is formed, you can even use Evite to message other carpool members, just like you might message event attendees.
With the addition of this feature, Evite has broadened its potential usefulness - use it to schedule shopping trips with neighbors, business trips with colleagues, even school pools! It's another tool in the trip-reduction toolbox.
