Show HN: Uber for Events
- azinman2 11y agoThe uber reference is very unclear here. You're not ordering anything that comes to you.
- overcast 11y agoWould probably help to mention the name of the product. Is this delivering events to you?
- jyothepro 11y agoThere is already something called Uber Events - https://www.uber.com/events https://www.uber.com/events
- carlosdp 11y agoThis isn't really an "Uber for x" product...
- hamburglar 11y agoThis person has made the common mistake of thinking "Uber for x" means "an app for finding x on a map." OP: the innovation of Uber has nothing to do with their car-finder app. It has to do with the fact that they've figured out a way to compete with a huge established business that historically has required huge capital expenditures to build a fleet of cars, and they've done it by tapping a massively underutilized and very cheap resource: other people's idle cars. This is precisely why taxi companies can't respond just by building a great app for hailing a taxi.
- bitwarrior 11y agoTIL "Uber" is the new word for "App"
- josephjrobison 11y agoIt actually looks pretty cool. I'll definitely check it out, congrats on shipping! And good use of an attention-catching title. No fault there.
- colept 11y agoNo fault there? Since when do you load up the Uber app just to see what cars are around you? Going window shopping for rides to nowhere? At best it's "Living Social" without the discounts.
- thwarted 11y agoThis used to be called Upcoming, but Yahoo shut that down.
- bigheadpercoli 11y agoDidn't actually make it. Use it and thought it's cool.
- colept 11y ago"Uber for x" click-bait title. For shame OP, Uber isn't a common noun.
