If your into going away or doing things with your mates you may be interested in this site particularly if all your friends are scattered around the country. A fairly simple concept, Wigadoo lets you propose a “to do idea” and then get your friends to agree on a date and then collect the money. Fairly simple really so here is how we thought about using the site:

Your the best man and you’ve been asked to organise the stag do
Your not sure where to go so you put a few suggestions in the system
You invite everyone to vote on what to do
Once you know what to do you vote on a date
Then you get everyone to pay up front directly to the site and the money is then credited to your prepaid payment card
No more arguments and chasing up payments

The site is fairly simple and easy to use and we quite liked it. They do take a percentage of what is paid into the account but it really is not that much if you want avoid the pain and hassle of chasing people up.

Three stars for Wigadoo.com - a good idea but if they thought up a way to get everyone to pay up on time that would be great.

Wigadoo.com is an online tool for social organisation which enables
users to organise social events easily and manage the group’s money
securely.

Hectic lifestyles and current financial pressures mean that organising
groups of people can be time-consuming, complicated and often costly.
Wigadoo.com makes the process simpler, quicker and safer so that people
end up doing more, with more friends, more often.

Wigadoo.com believes that people should spend as much time with their
friends as possible. Recently, Wigadoo discovered that 37% of people
admit they’re afraid of initiating nights out or weekends away because
of fears their friends would pull out last minute, leaving them out of
pocket. People still want to holiday together but with minimum risk and
loss to their own wallets.

How can Wigadoo.com fix this? The website is an innovative, yet simple
tool which helps you organise and manage your social activities with
your group of friends, without the pain of chasing mates for commitment.
The website also has a distinct feature which collects the money from
the group, by allocating everyone’s money onto an online event account.
Once the booking is confirmed, the online card is issued. Paying for
tickets, flights, hotels, etc has never been this easy.
