This app rocks. Mobaganda.com is about as bare-bones as you can get- no login, no sign-up- beautiful. Mobaganda is a way to promote, publicize, and manage an event. However, it does this all at a very simple level. All at your own custom domain, it tracks attendees via email addresses, notifies them of changes, generates an RSS feed of event attendees and details, creates a group email address- and all without login.
A great little star-sticker bonus to this site is the ability to pick a template for your event page. It offers two flavors "cool" and "cute". I love this idea. Naming your templates based on a description of the template and not an arbitrary name like "Midnight" or "Minima" has such a nice way of advancing a user through the experience of the application.

My only comment on this app is that social networks like Facebook are far more effective at running and managing events because of the ability to search and add your friends. However, everyone has an email address, and not everyone has a Facebook (or check it frequently).
Also, as far as re-usability goes, people only have events once in a while, so I don't see this app being a regular in someone's répétoire. Plus, with apps that are too niche-oriented, people tend to forget about their existence when the time comes for them to actually use them. So I guess bookmark this one, and promise me you'll come back to it.
All-in-all, this app gets a big ol' thumbs up from me. Check out my event page I created here.
