Hmm...useful

Ratio calculator from The Continuum. Even the name is cool.

In a non-technical field but still filed under "Useful." One of the Penn State boys, Jeff Morin, recently made a play at success with Anyvite, an extremely easy-to-use social event manager. Having wasted several hours over email with Evite's less-than-helpful staff, I'd pretty much resigned myself to living with annoyance. Evite does a terrible job of handling contacts (remembering, importing, saving, grouping) and is largely built to drive page hits (ever wonder why you can't RSVP right from the email? That'd be why).

Anyvite's a breath of fresh air. It's simple and straightforward while adding features I didn't even think I'd need. Event feeds keep you posted on what's going on in your social circles. It even caters to the indecisive: Anyvite lets you resurrect canceled events and reschedule them.

I'm trying really hard not to sound like I'm advertising, but fact is, I watch enough TV to subconciously mimic commercials when I want to relate a good product. So forgive me my banter, or don't, but check out Anyvite. You'll wonder how you ever used anything else. (Dammit.)
