Hi mixers, good news, our last day is not our last day!
Following our announcements, we’ve received many messages and started discussions. We are now considering these opportunities, especially an interesting one around a fit of our social calendar with ecommerce. No, not a calendar with upcoming Groupon sales 
.
But as a consequence we will continue to run mixin for the moment.We’ll keep you posted very soon.
Dear mixin user,
Just letting you know that mixin will close on the 18th of February. We’d like to thank you for your support since we launched the product in 2008.
Why?
To be very transparent, although the product received a warm welcome when we launched, we’ve found it hard to generate sufficient revenue to operate the business.
We know you really liked our many features. We also got a lot of interest in our offer for professionals, but even with this we have to step down.
What’s next for mixin?
mixin is for sale, the complete django-facebook-twitter platform with all brands and domains (mixin.com, mix.in). If you have any idea who could be interested or are interested yourself, please send us an email to mixinisforsale@gmail.com
What’s next for you?
Don’t worry, we will delete all agendas when we shut down the service. In between if you want to extract your current events, go to your agenda and click on “subscribe to your feeds” to view all export options. If you like the idea of social agenda and want to continue using a good one, we invite you to use the great Plancast from our friend Mark.
All the best for 2011,
The mixin team

Mixin
D’une part, mixin est un calendrier social. Il permet de publier ses envies et découvrir celles de ses amis. mixin est également un excellent système de promotion et diffusion des événements via le bouche à oreille éléctronique (Email, Twitter, Facebook).
Big news, there is an shiny new version of mixin just launched. Check it out now:
So what’s new?
Drop by, check it out, and let us know what you think here http://support.mixin.com/contactus.php
A very big thanks to the mixin family for giving us feedback on what we needed to work on. Your thoughts and a massive thanks to the team for working hard to get it all done so quickly.
Back into the workshop now to keep working on mixin.
With the new bookmarklet (get yours here) It’s easier to share your activities intentions with your friends.
Whether you’re in your Email, checking out your online calendar, or browsing any website, now you can instantly create activities and share them with friends. And you can do all this from your browser without going to mixin.com.
It’s really easy to use:
A simple button….
…to update your agenda in seconds
A few ideas how to use it:
If you have any input or idea don’t hesitate to comment here below!
As you probably already know, mixin is powered by the django framework. We are really happy and enthusiastic with this framework and community. We have upgraded to django version 1.0. The template rendering engine of django has been replaced by Jinja2. We have complex templates and the rendering is faster with this engine, I would recommend any new django project to use it.
Stay tuned, we are going to release a bookmarklet.
We are conducting a survey of 20 questions to continue to improve the service. As usual your feedbacks are very important to us. So here is the link http://tinyurl.com/6s2mzy
Thank you in advance for your time.
You can now control the notifications at the activity level. If there is to much noise coming from an activity that you are attending, you can turn the notifications off for this particular activity by clicking the speaker button. If you want to follow what is going on an activity and you don’t want to attend it, you can turn the notification on by clicking the same button. When you leave a comment or media on an activity, you will be notified of any changes. You can always turn these notifications off in your notification settings.
You can also click the link at the bottom of your email notification as shown below.
You can also comment or add medias to an activity by replying to the email notification or event inivitation.
mixin let you share your agenda with your friends in a real simple way. Just specify what you are going to do naturally and let your friend get in touch with you to do things together more often.
But sometimes, you want to do something with your friends, but you don’t know precisely where and when. For that purpose there is a type of activity called a proposition. The syntax to create a proposition is the same as the one to create a plan with one exception. You need to add a question mark at the end of your post to create a proposition. The proposition allows you to specify multiple choices.
For example, you want to lunch with friends but don’t know when and where, just enter the choices separated by semicolon.
Example
Once a proposition is created you can decide if you want to leave the different choices (what, where of when) open or not. Just click on the links next to the choices to open or close them. By default the choices are open.
If you want to invite people to discuss this proposition, click the “invite people to this event” button. You can either select particular friends on the service or invite new friends by entering their email addresses separated by commas.
When your friends receive an email there is link to the detail page. On this page, your friends can vote or make suggestions if you left the choices opened. And each time something is happening on this proposition (vote, suggestion) or posted to the proposition (comment, media) the users invited to the proposition are notified via their preferred communication channel.
And once the votes are over, the person who created it can transform the proposition into a plan. The administrator of the activity needs to make some of the choices final.
And make it final
To make it easier for you to develop your own version of mixin and integration with other applications through the API, we have now added support for Basic Authentication. Up to now you could authenticate against our API with OAuth authentication only.
The APIs to manipulate event’s attendees and medias (comments, images, video, audio) has been released and published. As you’ll notice our API documentation has been moved to Google Code. This will let us better react on your feedbacks and discuss together. If you find any bug on the API or if you have any suggestions, open an issue.
Last information for today, we have extended the date format support with 2 new formats:
