> How it's better than email list?
1. Organizers can update events instead of sending a new message
2. Organizers get to see a list of people who claim they're going
3. The message thread and images associated with events are much easier to deal with instead of throwing everything into one big slush pile that is an email list.
4. It makes much more sense to create events way ahead of time (think a year out).
5. It's easier for participants to see which events their friends are going to.
Ultimately, email just isn't very good for a number of use cases and events is one of them. These are also some of the same reasons why people started using wikis or sharepoint instead of email.
