Regarding your issue of "I already know what my friends are doing" and "I don't want to go somewhere I haven't been invited", I guess it all depends on what you define as "friends".
Your closest 10 friends? Sure, it applies. But who doesn't have hundreds of friends on Facebook these days? Taking that angle it's easy to see how you'll find out cool events (not private parties to crash, but concerts, conferences, art exhibits, etc) that you can go to, that someone you know is also attending (even if you're not close friends, you'll probably give them a call to go together, meet there, or whatever).
Having quite a busy social life, yet still some days when there's nothing interesting to do, I've found my app (see my other reply), and by extension, also Crowdspotting, to be useful. Also they make for good conversation when you happen to meet those friends from time to time ("Oh, I saw you went to X or Y, how was it?").
- revorad 15y agoI agree that I might find some cool events through friends of friends. But I guess I was going by what I saw when I logged into Crowdspottr. Most of the events my friends post on Facebook are private parties or small events which I wouldn't want to gatecrash. By the way, fiestastic looks great. I signed in with my Facebook but then was told I can't use it because you're in private beta! I think you should make that clear on the homepage itself. Any chance you can let me try it now? I like that you show a map of events. That's another problem with Crowdspottr. A lot of the events it shows me are in another continent. I think this is why beautiful looking apps are often not as useful as ugly ones. Instead of making the app useful, more time is spent on making it look shiny.
