+1 for not using the bootstrap default by the way looks good. missing: favicon, and how you are going to monetize? nice to have: API for event creators (certified ones) to add events so you don't have too nice to have2: use open graph to identify events nice to have3: google maps integration must have: mobile app :) but keep going, so many have the same issue, and no one did it right, so being the first with SOMETHIN…

thanks for your feedback! monetization is pretty far out at this stage but it's definitely on the to do list. And yes, content is important, we spent a lot of effort aggregating and curating the events, and there's still a lot of room to improve on that front. Can you explain a little bit on what you mean by API for event creators? Thanks again!

Monetization - You could do sponsored event postings or affiliate sales of tickets.

I think what he means is that I as an event host will periodically hold events. If I could notify you via the API when I have a new event that would get me listed faster.

I see. I think we can implement an event submission form, that should take care of your use case.

Yes, there are several ways we can go about monetization. But I think at this point our focus is on content quality and user experience.

I would like an event recommendation app where I can connect ME + FB FRIEND(S) + PLACE + DURATION (i.e. friend visiting my town for weekend + kids. what to do?) FB friends would be used to scrape their and my interests etc., to form intelligent recommendations.

in the short term, We will include a facebook share button soon so your friends will know about your interests and have conversations about them.
