Yahoo Acquires Upcoming.com
Posted by nullbit on October 5, 2005, 1:45 pm
To follow a long line of recent Web 2.0 / social software acquisitions, Yahoo! have taken ownership upcoming.org -- a social event calender. Paul Levine on Yahoo Search Blog, explains their move:
As readers of the Yahoo! Search blog know, our vision is a far-reaching one -- to enable people to find, use, share, and expand all human knowledge. Events are a particularly exciting area of human knowledge -- chock full of rich local, social, and temporal data. People want to find out what's going on near them, know what their friends are seeing and doing, and plan their outings. And they want to do it when they want, wherever they are, on any device, in a way that's relevant to them. Today we've taken a big step toward helping users in this area. We've acquired upcoming.org, a leader in this emerging space.

Hey, I just stumbled over www.Lovento.com, which is an awesome Web 2.0 style event calendaring tool and really worth looking at. Offers XML-feeds, trackbacks, a great rating system.

Maybe you should explain better what lovento offers:
Lovento offers worldwide information about nightlife, events, venues and communication in a free nightlife community.
The site is pretty new ans comes with a big amount of features.
I didn't like the grandma on a picture, but i think this secondary!
