Our mission to is place you and your six closest friends in the events where you’ll have the most fun. Thus, we made several improvements to the site. Read below.

New Event E-mails & Event Cancellation Notifications

New Event E-mails: We realize that you’re a very busy person and sometimes you don’t have time to check our site. In those cases, you miss great opportunities to find out about cool events.

To solve the problem, we’ll send you a brief email on Mondays and Thursdays that tell you new events have been posted to the site in your social circles. Simply, log onto www.digitalguestlist.com and RSVP until your are content!

We had a small bug with this feature which caused you to get five emails on Monday, but it’s fixed. Sorry about that.

Event Cancellation: Also, we added a feature where, if an event gets cancelled, you’ll receive an email notifying you. This way, you won’t spend your valuable time getting ready for and traveling to an event for no reason.

Name Our Mascot

Thanks to all of you who voted and helped us select our new mascot (see below)! But it doesn’t have a name :( We need your help.

We’ve picked five finalists for its name:

  • Digmo
  • Digi
  • Digy
  • Digicon
  • Digi Bot

Help us pick a name by posting your choice on our Facebook page at http://tinyurl.com/bloul7

Facebook Comment Integration

Many of you expressed having the ability to talk about how awesome an event is before and after it occurs – so we added a comment box connected to Facebook for you!

To share your thoughts about an event, simply scroll to the bottom of the event page and type away!

We break events down into cities like Atlanta (geography) and into social circles (behavior) like live music or fashion.  This filters out the “extra noise” and makes it really easy for people to find events that are relevant to them.

Once a user finds an event they would like to attend, they can RSVP for an incentive (a requirement for each event) such as complimentary or reduced admission.

This is where things get pretty cool. Each user can set up their Clique – the small group of friends they attend events with the most. As soon as a user chooses to RSVP for an event, the friends in their Clique are automatically notified of the user’s intention to attend. For example, Nicole’s best friends are Ashley, Jennifer, and Ashton. When Nicole decides to get on the guest list for Verve Lounge on Friday July 11th, Ashley, Jennifer, and Ashton are all sent notifications saying “Nicole is attending Verve Lounge this Friday. Would you like to attend? Click here to RSVP”. It’s word-of-mouth gone digital!

We created this app because people were telling us that they were getting extremely frustrated with the daily bombardment of emails, text messages, and invitations on MySpace and Facebook for events they weren’t going to attend in the first place. We wanted to make it easy for people to find relevant events and ensure their closest friends enjoyed with them.

We’d love to hear your thoughts – the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We’d like to invite you to try out the DIGITALGUESTLIST application on Facebook. DIGITALGUESTLIST makes it 10x easier for you to find exclusive events that are relevant to your interests and share with your best friends.

First, DIGITALGUESTLIST organizes the events in your city by social circle therefore making it easy for you to find events that are relevant to you. Then, we allow you to sign up for the guest list of the events. As soon as you RSVP for an event, 3-5 of your closest friends are automatically notified of your plans and asked if they would like to attend as well. You’ll have a great time out on the town at a lower cost!

Our application on Facebook hasn’t launched yet, so you need an invitation like this one to join the private beta.
