HELP ME NAME THIS! Website/app idea - need feedback

[AustinChief]

Ok, so was recently coding a new system for businesses to post events in one spot and have it propagate to all the important places it needs to go - Facebook, their website, Eventbrite, Zvents, local papers, etc etc

AND a thought occurred to me. IF I were looking for events going on in a city, I would turn to the local event-centric paper (Austin Chronicle here) or similar website... but more and more these days businesses are eschewing that route and simply creating an EVENT on Facebook. Well, that is all well and good for anyone who gets an INVITE for the event or who is a FAN of their page... but what about the random people who just want to see what is going on?

SOOOO I was thinking of creating a simple event site that lists all the Facebook events in a specific area and also maps them on a Google map.


I could also add events/music listings from other sources but it seems to me that Facebook is becoming the sole source for quite a bit of these things.

Also, starting out this would be limited to bars.. which should be fine for now.

EDIT: Now I need a name for this! Any ideas?

So any feedback? Useful? Oh and to be clear, all I'm hoping is that the idea is somewhat useful to people as a tool... I'm not expecting it to be anything huge.

I like that. Easy to remember, nice and short. It doesn't necessarily make grammatical sense, but that's not really important these days. My favorite so far.

There is another thread with suggestions.. Whatsthemaps lost out to EventZombie.com but no final decision has been made.

I figure I can always change the name up until it is ready to launch.
