Pretty much since its 2007 founding, event-sharing site Socializr has been at war with 11-year-old Evite, which remains popular with users despite few upgrades since the being acquired by IAC in 2001. For example, just months after Socializr was launched by Jonathan Abrams -- also the creator of social-networking site Friendster -- Evite sent the San Francisco-based startup a letter threatening to sue it for copyright infringement.
