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

oh yeah, I forgot to say that.

It will start as a website with a smartphone friendly version that looks and acts just like an app. BUT if it takes off, I'd certainly be willing to make a proper app.

What are you typically coding with? You mention it'll web-based to start. Are you using jQuery Mobile, Sencha, or anything like that? Do you work with PHP web services at all? Maybe we could work together on something sometime.

sandboxsimulations.com > your event thingy.




Seriously, sounds like a good idea. The hardest part will be getting the word out on it to create a critical mass of users.

Oh, and I can't tell you how many times I've been in a city I do not know that well trying to find some good nightlife... it can be a ****ing chore sometimes. I would definitely find some use for a site like this.

yelp provides a map of bars but not events going on. You'd have to click each bar to get to their yelp page, then HOPE they have a website link for you to follow and maybe find an event there.. or open a new window and search for the place on Facebook to maybe get the info by digging around.

yep, the only good thing is that the site still functions without users since it doesn't rely on user generated content but instead pulls the content directly from the Facebook API and I'll probably add some other sources for info but the main reason for this is access to Facebook events, which are becoming more and more the standard.
