Upcoming - collaborative event calendar
Weblog (wiki) | Social Network (wiki) - urs @ 09:02:33

[via Ross Mayfield, 1] Upcoming a free - this is already a strong statement - collaborative event calendar. You will be able to enter events you are attending, comment on events entered by others, and syndicate event listings to your own weblog. The Tonis [3] danceclub already has an account there. The calender offers an RSS feed, which makes it simple to spread the good news.

So apart from feeds on past events or posts as found in most blogs, it would be nice to have a combined or separate calendar, which is able to import multiple event feeds and send a notification email just a day before the event. Have not looked around for an implementation in b2, but that is was I actually understand as a "calendar" function, to display upcoming events.

The Tonis was added by me, and the event I referred to was the Salsambiente on wednesday night. I planned to go there, when I opened the account on upcoming.org. I hope more people from here will join this service, looks like an interesting idea!

Also have a look at addyourown.com, a wiki-like restaurant guide for (currently) Manhatten, Brooklyn, Chicago and San Francsisco.
