Congregar launched!
November 5, 2008 – 11:11 am
“What would be the best date for that weekend cookout with my friends? When is everyone available for a class reunion? Which night would work best for that company outing?”
The usual pattern when organizing such events is a mass email to your friends, followed by a thread of 80 emails, where everyone throws in their preferences, witty remarks, corrections, retractions, etc. Then, after a bit of confused silence, you try to draw a conclusion from all this, and in frustration usually end up picking the date you preferred anyway, followed by further negotiations and griping 
We thought this could be improved, so we have put together a web application to scratch our own itch. You can very quickly create a poll about the best date, send a link to your friends, and follow all responses. No registration, no fuss, no muss. Everyone can see the most likely date at a glance, and also drill into the details of when individuals are available.
Check it out at www.congregar.com!
More features are on the way, but we thought this is quite useful as it is. We appreciate your feedback too!
HI EU Edge team,
Even though you did a good job with your congregar, the mother of this kind of application runs for a long time here http://www.doodle.com/main.html
cheers

Hi dcam,
Yes, we’re aware of doodle. While we don’t beat them on features (yet), I think Congregar has a much more effective user interface experience.
Regards,
Viktor

I would say it would be nice to have Congregar as a wave gadget.
A general feedback from my pals is that some faq or howto would be appreciated.
