- ghaff 7y agoI’m not sure how much of a difference there is between centralization and aggregation. Especially if it’s not just a read-only feed. You can basically aggregate tomorrow with RSS.
- KajMagnus 7y agoDoing that for oneself is pretty simple I would think, and doing this for other people, so they find what they are interested in, in cities far a way or in other countries, is pretty hard, I think.
- ghaff 7y agoThat was pretty much my point. Aggregation is technically simple. Creating a locations that's the go-to for people running and planning events is much harder because it's basically a network effects problem.
