Mobile EventZombie.com now with useless St Joe data!
OK, I need a name for a website that shows a map of a given area and plots all the bars/venues on the map then lets you click each one to see a popup of all the upcoming events and their most recent Facebook wall posts.


Ok we have picked the name EventZombie.com.. now I need as much feedback as possible while I get the site into shape.

Hopefully, my buddy is going to make a quick logo for the site as well.

Any thoughts, especially NEGATIVE ones are appreciated. So far all the young (21-30)people I know in Austin have been behind the idea and think its great... which is nice but I really need to know what is WRONG with the site so I can address it or just give up on it before I waste time on something useless. So, pick it apart, Please!

ok, guys... give eventzombie a shot on a mobile device and let me know what sucks about the current layout. I want to get it looking "good enough" before I open up other areas. I think we are slowly approaching that point but any feedback would be great.

ok, working on a LIST view option now, what do you guys think? BY DATE as default with an option to show by BAR/VENUE?

Just a heads up, if you are scraping info directly from Facebook, there's a good chance they would view that as a TOS violation and could be sending you a cease & desist. Same thing happened with PadMapper & Craigslist. The way they got around it was by scraping their data from Google caches.

Just something to be aware of. Good luck with the site!

Don't think I'll ever use it. Perhaps if you would have picked my suggested name, then maybe. However, it appears that your lack of ability to recognize genius when you see it has lost you a customer for life.

I'll just continue freeloading off your other website, which used to have Chiefs news, but now just has ban stickies.

I don't scrape from FB I use their API. It's all above board and within the TOS.

Ok for anyone still interested in helping me out.. the mobile version now has a LIST view you can get to from the map..

Here are my questions...

I am thinking of splitting the button that send you to the map so you can pick either map or list from that main screen. Good idea?

Also, the list view only shows events not FB posts... part of the reason is that events can be listed by present and future date of event but facebook posts are all in the present or past.. so they wouldn't fit the format. The problem is.. people often post events as just text in a post... well I have no way of identifying those. One thing I am looking to do is add an additional layer to the parser that looks at the data and any posts that links to an event would grab the event data and check the venue address then "promote" that post to an event in the db. Unfortunately these are rare.. most times it's just text like "Hey my band The Ninnyhammers is playing tonight here at Smokeys, come check us out!"

SO.. I was thinking of having TWO list views.. one is by event date and of course noway for that to show posts but the other would be by bar and would show both upcoming events and recent wall posts.

Basically the same info you get here http://www.eventzombie.com/mobile/mapd.php?id=1098
but will all the bars for that area on one page with collapsible headers to separate them.

Am I talkin crazy or does that sound right?

OK.. so I have a style question to put forth to the masses...

On the mobile version (the only version I am currently working on)... the LIST view shows events broken down by day , if an event has more info, it is clickable but I also want to make the bars/venues clickable as well... my choices are...

#1 just make the bar name a link with the standard underlining.. but this will look confusing next to the events I think
#2 add a small "venue info" link after the bar name
#3 make the bar name a link with underline but no color change ..but I don;t think people would know it is clickable that way
#4 make the bar name a button

To see what it looks like now without the bars clickable... go to

http://www.eventzombie.com/mobile/mobile.php

It may not look right on a desktop browser unless you make the window small/phone sized.

Any feedback is appreciated! Once I get this problem solved I'm adding a bar-centric event list.. so you can switch between "by date" and "by venue" while on list view

ok, for anyone interested, 6th street is in the system now... and it's kinda fun to look at how many bars there are in such a small area.

http://www.eventzombie.com/mobile/map.php?dis=e6

Hopefully I'll have the rest of downtown in the system in the next day and can see all 8 districts on the map.

update... now you can filter the map markers to toggle the 3 types on off to unclutter the map if needed.

Update! if anyone has a tablet or iphone and wants to test the site, I'd appreciate it. I just changed height and orientation settings so... in theory.. it should fit any screen and change when you change from landscape to portrait mode

I think zombie does help describe what the site does. It's a mass collective that never stops. Or it can describe the person using the site that always on the hunt for a show.

Anyways, for fun these are names I thought of,
wheresmydrink.com
clubhub.com
seekeasy.com
speakeasier.com
eventally.com
showstarter.com
rockme.com
bardar.com

well, I wanted to test expansion to a different city outside of Texas to see if I had the db set up correctly for it and it worked.. sort of... I did St Joe which works except there is no "backup" data source like in Austin so the only data comes from Facebook.. which would be fine except it appears none of the bars in St Joe have discovered how to use Facebook yet...

So you basically have a map of bars with no useful info..

http://www.eventzombie.com/mobile/map.php?dis=stjoe

Now I need to do a city/region outside of Texas that has an event listing site with data...

Does KC have a "go to" place for events/music listings? I looked at the Pitch but it seems like they are pretty limited in what they have for info.
