The state of social events

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

When making a web 2.0 site that will be part of the social web what methods should be executed to make it the most social it can be? Badges, widgets, mobile apps, social networking platform apps, open API, Open Social platform, etc. The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and you get the idea. We have so many ways to make a site social, get the name and the product out there that it’s hard to decide where to go and what order you want to develop things.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? What’s the best way to quantify the usability of a certain platform? That’s the subject of our next meeting, we have so many places where a social events site like ours becomes so useful. Our ability to share events and use a calendar like this has never been done before. We watch the competition come and go and we see the rise and fall of calendaring trends and how people have used them before and how people are trying to use them now and every time we analyze and breakdown an events / calendaring site we can’t help but think “there has to be a better way”.

A better way to get your name out, a better way to be used, and a better way to make yourself more useful. This is what we think about as we develop, prepare marketing strategies, social media and adoption strategies. As we are creating our ad campaign and the ability for businesses to advertise with us it’ all in such a unique way that it’s going to be like nothing that has been done yet, we will have a better way to organize your life, promote your event, promote your business, sync your life and keep on top of what’s going on. I don’t want to give too much away but It’s truly going to be something awesome when we launch. I’m so excited about it and so amped to show the world what we have been working on. Stay tuned, it’s going to be worth it!
