Evite released stats this week revealing that somehow, December 15th is the partyingest day of the entire year. Evites have been sent for 100,000 parties on that dreadful Saturday. According to Citysearch, "in New York alone, there are already 8,000 parties planned for a total of 275,000 invited guests, making New York the No. 1 'Super Saturday' party city in the U.S." That's more parties than New Year's Eve, Halloween, and the Super Bowl. And it needs to stop.

Oh god, Evite. It starts with an email about a party with no information about that party, and then it gets worse. But in many cases there's no reason you have to use the most popular site. Here's what to use instead of Evite, YouTube, Blogger, Twitter, Digg, and MapQuest.

Time has deigned to inform the public of the 5 Worst Websites on the Internet. Yes, the same magazine that named YOU the Person of the Year in 2006 is telling you the five sites to avoid. But first, we'll add a sixth to the list: Time.com, for wasting so many expensively edited words on five websites that clearly don't deserve them. After the jump, we read Time's list so you don't have to.

Earlier today, we noted the moronic story about Evite responses in Thursgay Styles, which also seemed at least two years behind the curve. Turns out, it was!

Thursgay strikes a nerve today with a piece about the enormous difficulty of coming up with an appropriate response to an Evite. The crux of the issue seems to be that, though the option to respond with a simple 'yes' or 'no' does exist, many invitees feel obligated to avail themselves of the service's 'leave a personal message' option, and aren't quite sure how to go about it. We sympathize with these people, obviously. We mean, Evite has only been around since, what, 1997? That's not nearly enough time to figure out how to type "see u there!" The plight of one particular Evite user especially touched our heart:
