Abstract

See full text

A method for negotiating details of an event is disclosed. A user interface provides a set of widgets adapted to define details of the event, and at least one widget adapted to create a poll for a detail of the event. When the widget to create a poll is selected, at least one data field is provided to receive options regarding the event detail. Once the event is saved, it is published to a web page, and invitations are sent electronically to guests. If a poll has been created, then the published web page includes voting buttons that may be selected by the guests when they visit the web page such that preferences may be accommodated in scheduling the event. Further, the event web page is modified each time a vote button is selected such that tallies of the votes for each option are displayed.
