Giving 2.0
March 21, 2007
Stephanie from Giving 2.0 just used Renkoo to coordinate a planning breakfast later this month.
In her post, What is Giving 2.0?, she describes the group as “a community of people who work for Web 2.0 companies who get together to volunteer for charitable organizations.” If you’re interested in more details, please contact Stephanie.

Recently I had dinner with 3 old friends, all of whom are very practiced at casual social planning. It took 16 emails to arrange, plus a Google Calendar event, plus an Open Table notification, plus another 4 emails the day before to make sure we were all still in. When people ask me why anyone would want to use Renkoo instead of email, I think… does email actually work WELL? Or is it just the devil you know?
Did I mention that Renkoo will send automatic reminder notifications the day before your event? Just make sure you’ve set a final date and time, and we’ll do the rest.

In Part II of our interview with YDN,
The Renkoo founders share details about their backend tools and share some thoughts on Yahoo!’s role as a startup enabler.
They get us to talk about our technology stack, too:
“The main framework is LAMP. The realtime part is a technology my partner Adam Rifkin and I are working on called mod_pubsub, an open source project. And Comet server. The UI is the Dojo AJAX server. Mod_pubsub is written in Twisted Python.”
Listen to the interview here.
