Talk:Invitation system

Joost[edit]

From what I can tell, Joost is no longer invite based, and is a beta open to the public. This information should be changed. 216.232.144.230 20:42, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

parties and social events[edit]

not to spoil all the fun, I guess we can talk about "offline" stuff here too such as by invitation only parties, social events, and sports tournaments (as opposed to Derbys). What do you think? --Kushal^t 18:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. This title is much broader than the narrow definition here. I found it while searching for things like Evite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.60.206.189 (talk) 15:51, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request for additional sources[edit]

Some terms are introduced in this article which appear to be grammatically incorrect. Sources for citation are required here. These terms include:

invite system
invite tokens
invite codes

Seemingly, all three of these should have 'invite' changed to 'invitation', since 'invite' is seemingly being used as a noun here (which is incorrect). As such, sources will need to be provided to show that these new terms are actually in use and that the terms are grammatically correct. Getting mixed up between 'invite' and 'invitation' seems to be a common mistake and the kind of people who make that mistake also seem to be big fans of Wikipedia, so it's important to help these people.

Agreed. Although wordnet lists the definition: a colloquial expression for invitation; "he didn't get no invite to the party". In social networking terms the word has been a noun almost as long as "party" has been a verb. It grinds my gears.

This whole article seems sourceless and incorrect to me - it makes assertations about what is or isn't an invitation system which don't tally with my experience. If I can find some better sources I'll do a rewrite. Moopet (talk) 16:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
