EVDB

Mar 30, 2005

EVDB is a calendaring service that supports RSS feeds of custom calendars. The beta launched today. As the website says, EVDB "helps people find relevant events and share their discoveries with others. We're building a worldwide repository of event and venue data that the whole world can use. Our goal is to help people discover all kinds of events they might have otherwise missed, and to profitably be the best at what we do." I like the idea - but where is the code? Oh - we all go to their site. That's not how it should work. Such systems will begin to work when there are multiple interoperable calendars like this. I give it a month, two months max, before the decentralized approach takes flight. But for now, EVDB is pretty nifty.
