Natick, Mass. (PRWeb) May 22, 2007 – MyPunchbowl.com today released breakthrough “Pick-a-Date” functionality, adding to its leadership position as the most sophisticated event and party planning site on the web. MyPunchbowl.com is located at http://www.punchbowl.com
MyPunchbowl helps consumers celebrate, and is the perfect product for planning holidays, life milestone events, as well as adult and kids birthday parties. Pick-a-Date offers unrivaled functionality, making MyPunchbowl ideal for coordinating summer parties and barbeques. “Now I can make sure the most important people are at my Fourth of July party,” said Nora Brennan, a new MyPunchbowl user, “MyPunchbowl’s Pick-a-Date is so easy to use and incredibly helpful.”
MyPunchbowl is the first event and party planning website to offer a real-time algorithm which drives group consensus and automates date selection for the host. Unlike current methods which require the host to manually settle on a date from a group’s overall responses, MyPunchbowl allows the host to indicate which guests are the most important (VIPs) and offers a unique method to drive group consensus. When a guest responds, MyPunchbowl Pick-a-Date places each guest response under one date option based on their availability. As more guests respond, the software groups guests together in real-time to form consensus. Group dynamics then influence individual behavior as future guests choose a date to align with the majority. This unique method helps quickly drive group consensus and automates date selection for the host.
The MyPunchbowl Pick-a-Date functionality culminates months of research and development and extensive customer input. “We believe Pick-a-Date offers breakthrough functionality for event and party planning,” said Matt Douglas, Founder, Punchbowl Software, “this advances MyPunchbowl.com as the most user-friendly and sophisticated event and party planning software on the web.” Key MyPunchbowl Pick-a-Date features include:
- Real-time adjustment of the best date based on guest availability
- Current consensus is indicated for all guests, to drive consensus to a specific date
- An unlimited number of potential dates and times
- A message board to quickly communicate with potential guests
- Ability to easily create a Save the Date or Invitation using the consensus date
