Events as a platform is a very compelling concept (I’ve been thinking about this since ’99 and my ‘all occasion gift registry’ play)… but I wonder what unique algorithms the EVDB crew has built to better hearvest, winnow and validate the data… and how they’ll do it without inviting competition from the likes of (newspaper held) Topix and Feedster, let alone Google and Yahoo.
I’ll be watching this closely. If they’ve got the goods, I’ve got a meta play on the cheap.
Congrats to the team and their investors.
