http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/yahoo-news/yahoo-acquires-upcomingcom/ <p>To follow a long line of recent Web 2.0 / social software acquisitions, Yahoo! have taken ownership <a href="http://upcoming.org/">upcoming.org</a> -- a social event calender. <a href="http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000193.html">Paul Levine on Yahoo Search Blog</a>, explains their move:</p> <blockquote> <p> 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. </p></blockquote> en Copyright 2005 WebmasterBrain.com webmaster@webmasterbrain.com Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:31:24 GMT Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:31:24 GMT http://www.webmasterbrain.com/img/logo.gif http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/yahoo-news/yahoo-acquires-upcomingcom/ http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/yahoo-news/yahoo-acquires-upcomingcom/loventocom/ &lt;p&gt;Hey, I just stumbled over www.Lovento.com, which is an awesome Web 2.0 style event calendaring tool and really worth looking at.
