Evite Down For The Count

from the see-what-happens-when-you-get-rid-of-your-marketing-people? dept

So, Evite gets rid of all its marketing and business development people a couple of weeks ago, and suddenly the site isn't working any more. Shouldn't the engineers be able to keep the site running without any interference from annoying business folks?

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

      Re: De-vite

      Logging in is not the only problem with Evite.
      I planed my wife's surprise birthday party for months using Evite. I made sure that our home email account was deleted from the myEvite menu ---so as to not have some respond back to the account which my wife read.

      Even after deleting my home account, responses this past week came to my home account almost ruining the surprise.
