History[edit] According to the website's About page: "We developed Wiggio out of our own frustrations with working in groups. We were tired of sending eleven emails back and forth to set a meeting time.
We were fed up with "that guy" who just never knows where and when to be for meetings. We were tired of multiple mailing lists, contact books, phone-chains and incompatibilities. We wanted everything to be in one place, and we wanted it simple. " Wiggio Beta was introduced to the Cornell campus in Spring 2008 and attracted about 1500 users.
