We are extremely delighted to announce that setdot is out of beta and is now available for all to use. We added new major features and enhancements to setdot based on your feedback. We are excited about the new offerings and we know that it will enhance your user experience.

Here are a few of the key new features:

• Open Registration. We’re officially removing “beta” from our site. Now, anyone can sign up for a setdot account.
• New Themes. We’ve added several new themes. Whether you’re planning a barbecue, housewarming party, poker night, bridal shower, save-the-date, wedding, or Halloween party, we’ve got you covered.
• Driving Directions. There’s no need to copy and paste the address to any mapping tool anymore. You can now get step-by-step directions to your event within setdot.
• Venue Reviews. Not sure where to have your next event? Our location search will display results with Yelp reviews to help you make the best venue decision.
• Promote Your Events. We offer two different widgets to promote your favorite public events on your blog or personal website.
• Add Event to Your Calendar. Afraid of forgetting about an event? With setdot, you can block out time on your personal calendar (Google, Yahoo, or Outlook) for your events so you’ll never forget again.
• Message Moderation. You now have the ability to delete unwanted, incorrect, or inappropriate messages posted for your event.
• Visitor Tracking. See how many times your event has been looked at. You’ll also be able to see which specific guests have looked at your invitations.

There’s still more! Sign up for an account now and create your first event to see all this for yourself.

As always, we would love to hear feedback from you. Watch out for upcoming blog entries on how you can effectively and easily use some of the new features.

Today, we released a few minor updates to setdot. As we stated in our earlier post, we are working on our next major release which you will hear about in the coming weeks. Expect some nifty features and keep watching our blog for updates.

If you haven’t heard from us lately, it’s because we have been working away on a lot of cool new features to add to setdot. We want to thank all our users for the positive feedback. We are working on getting some your feature requests in the next major setdot release. We will have more details for you in the upcoming weeks.

In the meantime, we will continue to release minor updates.

We are excited about the new features and we know that you will love using setdot for all your event planning needs.

Stay tuned!

It is turning out to be a good week for reviews. Rounding up the reviews for the week so far,

1. Chris Garner, downloadsquad.com on how to plan, organize and manage events with setdot.

2. Barry’s Best Blog to setting up awesome events with setdot.

3. rev2.org on setdot launches killer app for event management.

The response have been just great so far. We want to thank everyone for taking the time out to review setdot.

We would like to thank Molly at demogirl.com for her review and screencast of setdot.

We have received a large number of requests from people who want to register. We would love to invite everyone at once to register, but we can’t because we are still working on a few things during our private beta. We want to ensure the best experience for you when you eventually do register with us.

For now, we will send out invitations to you to join setdot as and when our systems are ready to accept new users.

We wanted to take some time out to thank everyone for their interest in joining setdot. The response so far has been positive. We would like to extend a special thank you to mashable.com for their review. In case you missed it, you can find it here.
