EVDB Goes Live
Posted by Ross Mayfield
EVDB, the events and venue database, took their beta live tonight. Below is a published Smart Calendar, here is a sample event page. Go poke around.
See that little green button? I’ll lay odds you will see it more often over the next year than you imagine.
Yesterday EVDB announced a $2.1 million raise from Draper Fisher Jurveston, Omidyar Network, Esther Dyson, Ev Williams, Mark Pincus and others great angels.
Some people really like it. The event space is heating up, with Upcoming.org (neat new features announced) and Whizspark with their own approach. They all seem to be supporting open standards and we should see some interesting things happen as events and venues become nodes.
Disclosure: I am an advisor as previously noted

You guys should pick up www.stubhub.com or another second-hand ticketing service. Another interesting strategy might be to propose an Amazon-affiliate type program with Ticketmaster.

One of the coolest event calendars is TokyoArtBeat- a phenomenal calendar of all the art and design events in Tokyo (over 300 venues and over 150 events constantly updated) classified by categories, areas, time schedules or interests. No other city has a resource quite like it.
TokyoArtBeat also puts out many RSS feeds and has personalization and histories. Plus, it's in BOTH English and Japanese.

Please try it out- I think it's a class-leading calendar for the art/design niche.
