1. A method comprising:

accepting, via a wireless device, input requesting response aggregation drawn upon a managed message having at least two desired recipients, the input concerning attributes of at least one message-structure item of the managed message;

in response to accepting the input, creating the managed message based on the attributes of the at least one message-structure item, the at least one message-structure item comprising at least one response option;

detecting a device capability of a device associated with at least one of the at least two desired recipients via communication with the device;

retrieving a device-capability-specific file set appropriate to the detected device capability; and

formulating the managed message into a device-capability-specific message based on the device-capability-specific file set.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said accepting input requesting response aggregation comprises accepting user input defining the at least two desired recipients via entry of at least one desired-recipient item.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said accepting input defining the at least two desired recipients via entry of at least one desired-recipient item comprises:

accepting input defining the at least two desired recipients via entry of at least one of a desired-recipient name, a desired-recipient phone number, a desired-recipient email address, a choice of a group name, and a choice of a contact.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one message-structure item further comprises at least one of: a subject; an associated ability to allow at least one desired recipient to see at least one other of the at least two desired recipients; a message body; at least one yes-no-type answer question; at least one numeric-response-type answer question; at least one textual-response-type answer question; at least one multiple-choice-response-type answer question; at least one meeting date which can include either or both a day and a time; at least one meeting location; at least one meeting RSVP request; at least one event descriptor wherein the event descriptor can include, but is not limited to, a party, a breakfast, a lunch, a dinner, a movie, a game, a concert, or a miscellaneous occurrence; at least one event location; and at least one event RSVP request.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the accepting input comprises means for accepting at least one of voice, or alphanumeric, or digital input.

6. A system comprising:

means for accepting, via a wireless device, input requesting response aggregation drawn upon a managed message having at least two desired recipients, the input concerning attributes of at least one message-structure item of the managed message;

means for creating the managed message based on the attributes of the at least one message-structure item, the at least one message-structure item comprising at least one response option;

means for detecting a device capability of a device associated with at least one of the at least two desired recipients via communication with the device;

means for retrieving a device-capability-specific file set appropriate to the detected device capability; and

means for formulating the managed message into a device-capability-specific message based on the device-capability-specific file set.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein said means for accepting input requesting response aggregation comprises means for accepting user input defining the at least two desired recipients via entry of at least one desired-recipient item.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein said means for accepting input defining the at least two desired recipients via entry of at least one desired-recipient item comprises means for accepting input defining the at least two desired recipients via entry of at least one of a desired-recipient name, a desired-recipient phone number, a desired-recipient email address, a choice of a group name, and a choice of a contact.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one message-structure item further comprises at least one of: a subject; an associated ability to allow at least one desired recipient to see at least one other of the at least two desired recipients; a message body; at least one yes-no-type answer question; at least one numeric-response-type answer question; at least one textual-response-type answer question; at least one multiple-choice-response-type answer question; at least one meeting date which can include either or both a day and a time; at least one meeting location; at least one meeting RSVP request; at least one event descriptor wherein the event descriptor can include, but is not limited to, a party, a breakfast, a lunch, a dinner, a movie, a game, a concert, or a miscellaneous occurrence; at least one event location; and at least one event RSVP request.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the means for accepting input comprises means for accepting at least one voice, or alphanumeric, or digital input.
