The CEO of Evolution Of Style, Jon Mustich, had some great things to say about rendeznew:

My business requires me to meet with clients, many of whom I have never met, in a comfortable atmosphere. Living in Los Angeles picking a place to meet is always a challenge because of many factors. Distance, locations, and of course the biggest of which is traffic! I started using rendeznew as a way to find a central meeting place that would be convenient for both me and my clients. The best feature that I enjoy is the ability to mail directions to each party based on their locations. In addition, if you are going during high traffic times you can click “avoid highways” as a way to give everyone directions in order to get there on time! Generally, I am out of my office so this makes it easy to make the meeting process simple for my clients. I have to say I’ve used rendeznew about 10 times and I think 9 of those times my clients loved the ease of it and it always gives me a great location to meet! Thanks!

Thanks Jon! We appreciate the kind words and hope other business owners enjoy using our services. Keep meeting in the middle!

After our feature on lifehacker which I blogged about a week or so ago, we read some of the comments and decided that it was important to use driving directions to calculate our midpoint. You spoke out and we delivered… The new version of rendeznew will use the driving path between two points to calculate the midpoint (and something that we have that our competitors don’t have is the ability to avoid highways). Take a look at the screen shot here and take a look at the site for this example:

You can still enter up to four points, but our algorithm will not take into account the driving directions for three or four points. We are still working hard on developing something that will take some of those factors into account for more than two points. But for now, you can still enter up to four points and drag the midpoint to somewhere that is more to your liking. Actually, try it for two locations and see what happens, I think you will like what you see =). Thanks for all the feedback and as always email us or tell us in the comments about any bugs/suggestions/likes/dislikes/concerns (anything) that you want to tell us about rendeznew. Now go try things out and meet in the middle.

It has been a long while since my last post and update. The truth is that we haven’t really changed much with the site but we have been busy promoting the site hard and trying to get the rendeznew name and service out there. It has been successful with a most recent posting on makeuseof.com:
