upcoming? Wasn't that the startup. yahoo bought it. ( http://upcoming.yahoo.com/ http://upcoming.yahoo.com/ )
I think the problem is structural - the money flows from gig promoters, hence the interface is not built for the user's desires.
- jli 17y agoupcoming was bought by yahoo in 2005. I totally agree that the sites are built for the promoters and not the users. The biggest problem I see how can this be built for the users and make money at the same time, any ideas?
- StrawberryFrog 17y agoNope, but if there is an answer, it may look like the difference between expertsexchange and stackoverflow (the later is a good example of building for the users). Other commenters raise interesting points as to why this problem is harder than others - events have so many niches, there's a new set of them for each new set of users. And unlike on stackoverflow, in a month all of that data has lost almost all of its value and you need new data.
