"UCSB currently ranks first in a contest to host a free advanced screening of the Sony Pictures’ upcoming June 12 comedy film, “This Is The End”, directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg and starring an ensemble cast including James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and Rogen himself."

"

"Eventful has been named the winner of the 2011 Integrated Online Campaign OMMA award for the Entertainment/Music category.

"Eventful, San Diego, opened an office in New York and hired Matt Spielman to be based there as Vice President for Strategic Partnerships and Alliances as well as General Manager for the Northeast Region..."

"Eventful, Inc. made three major announcements today: the appointment of influential entertainment lawyer Craig Jacobson to its Board of Directors; the opening of a New York office; and the naming of Matt Spielman as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. "

"Eventful, a digital events service based out of San Diego, California, just got bigger. "

"In what could be a significant boon for some independent filmmakers on the distribution front, AMC Theaters and Eventful have partnered with the creators of feature "Mooz-lum" to distribute the film using the online Demand It program. "

"One of the best examples of this strategy was for Paramount’s Paranormal Activity...MGM also used Eventful to have fans request screenings of its comedy, Hot Tub Time Machine. "

"Meanwhile, Eventful is still proving itself as a viable vehicle for studios to market their films and potentially create innovative distribution and screening strategies. Since last fall, the company has executed nearly 20 different movie-based campaigns for studios such as Universal and MGM, and has seen its services become so popular that some studios have co-opted the model for their own use..."

"Savage County is not a big, mainstream horror film, but due to a campaign from MTV and Eventful(), the movie (which was directed by David Harris) will now be airing on a mainstream network (MTV 2) on October 7. ...."

"MTV is working with Eventful to allow folks to "demand" to see the movie. If at least 100,000 people want it, MTV2 will air the movie...."

"Coming off a successful preview screening at Comic-Con last week, NBC is rolling out pilot screenings in five cities for its fall action-drama "The Event." The network is partnering with Eventful Inc. and its Demand It platform to let viewers lobby for their city to receive a screening...."

"This horror movie benefited from almost paranormal levels of online buzz when its marketing team released the film for limited midnight screenings in 13 college markets. But the campaign's call-to-action caused more than 1 million consumers to demand that the film open in their cities as well -- paving the way for a nationwide release..."

"In the meantime, Paramount has enlisted Eventful Inc. to help determine further demand and figure out the best markets for a sing-a-long "Grease." The website www.greasemovie.com allows fans in other markets to lobby for the film in their cities through Eventful's "Demand It" program...."

"Peli then invited users to demand where the movie should be played next using Eventful.com. This was a great viral marketing initiative in its own right. As venues sold out, Paramount decided to open it up for a nationwide release if the movie got 1 million Eventful.com demands. This, combined with midnight screenings set up at key venues to get people buzzing about the movie, worked great, and the goal was reached on Eventful.com..."

"For San Diego-based Eventful, "Paranormal" also proved the company could do for movie studios what it already does for the concert industry by helping musicians and comedians schedule their tours..."

"...To that end, MGM decided to take a cue from Paranormal Activity and its Eventful collaboration. The studio is launching a bunch of free preview screenings for fans to help build word of mouth surrounding the film...Plus, an established platform like Eventful has the back-end to deal with scheduling issues that a homegrown solution might lack."

"...Jordan Glazier, CEO of Eventful, which developed Paramount's 'Paranormal Activity' campaign 'Demand It!', says it's the first movie released nationwide by request from crowdsourcing...."

"A San Diego Web-based event promotion site is playing a key role in helping transform a micro-budget horror flick made by an amateur director at his Rancho Penasquitos home into the hit movie of the fall season... In less than a month’s time, more than 1 million users trekked to Eventful to vote, or 'demand,' that the movie, 'Paranormal Activity,' be shown in their hometowns, meeting the gauntlet set down by Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles before agreeing to a nationwide release...."

"An eerie, low-budget horror movie has become the latest pop-culture diversion to catch fire on the Internet, thanks in part to San Diego online listing firm Eventful..."

Eventful CEO, Jordan Glazier, on NBC's Today Show speaking about the Paranormal Activity campaign

"After midnight screenings in Los Angeles and select college towns elicited unprecedented amounts of demand at the studio and at local theaters, Ms. Colligan and her co-president of marketing, Josh Greenstein, teamed up with Eventful, a user-generated entertainment booking site of sorts, for a campaign that goes far outside the traditional route..."

"Every so often, the marketing campaign for a movie is itself a work of art... I’m sitting here at my desk, looking at the studio Website for Paranormal Activity, and in the top right-hand corner there’s a yellow box that says “Demand it!"...What’s ingenious about the marketing campaign for Paranormal Activity is the notion that it’s putting the power of movie distribution in your hands..."

"...The studio has launched a campaign using Eventful (Eventful) to get would-be-watchers excited about a potential wide-release and sharing their enthusiasm across social media sites...I like the idea of using social media — and social media event services — to gauge and collect interest in film."

"...Eventful.com is hosting the online Paranormal Activity vote that promises to send the movie to a wider audience if said audience asks for it... It’s safe to theorize that what seems like democracy in action for horror movie fans is clever online marketing."

"...The veritè-style ghost story about a couple being taunted by a demonic spirit will open nationwide as soon as one million demands are reached on the movie's Eventful.com request page...Every demand counts in releasing PARANORMAL ACTIVITY nationwide...."

"...One of the things that makes "Paranormal Activity" unique is its release schedule...However, if moviegoers make enough noise and bug the studio bigwigs, the film may get a wider release. Wisely, the filmmakers have made it easy for fans to voice their demand..."

"...What the minds behind 'Paranormal' are doing differently is all in the marketing...Meanwhile, Paramount remains committed to their promise to open the film in every market once they reach 1 million "demands"...."

"...people who haven't seen the film will use the (eventful.com/demand) to request that Paramount book the movie into their towns... The Internet service has been used by music fans who want bands to play a local gig; Paramount says the "Paranormal Activity" application is Demand's first for a movie..."

"In addition to the typical marketing campaign, they’re also doing something quite innovative to figure out where to open the film next: They’re asking fans. They’ve started an Eventful page for the film, and are asking fans to demand screenings in their area... But if given the chance, perhaps there’s more studios can learn from fans."

"When I play out, I go where my fans are. And that's because of a site called Eventful.com that created a system where anyone can sign up and demand you to play their city...It's one of those ideas that makes you wonder how we did it the other way for so long...."

"... This time, Luke Bryan’s doing it by letting fans all over the country choose the city for his album release party... You just go to Eventful.com and they will walk you through the steps...."

"... Kiss' upcoming U.S. and Canadian tour will be entirely routed based on demand at event-based social networking site Eventful, a first for a major act...."

"... Branson’s reputation as the, “the live music capital of the world” was recently reinforced. Branson was rated second in the category of “Most Music Events” in the 2nd Annual “Most Eventful Cities” report by Eventful.Com....."

"... San Francisco has been ranked the third-most eventful city in the country, according to a group that tracks events in the U.S. and the world...."

"... San Francisco was ranked the third most eventful city in the country while Berkeley was recognized as the second most small but eventful city. Cool....."

"... Cincinnati just got a nice present for the new year - the city is on not one, but two "Top 10 Cities" lists recently released by Eventful.com...."

"... Billboard's decision to use Eventful's Demand system is an interesting one. For years, the company has displayed the top grossing concerts, but this marks the first time that it will tell the artists where they're most wanted. And for Eventful, which is competing against a slew of companies, including Zvents and EventOrb, the company's Billboard deal cements it as a major force in the local-events market...."

"...Eventful’s charts will provide a near real-time popularity check for comparison to Billboard’s charts, allowing viewers and performers insight into who consumers want, and where they want them...."

" . . . Of course, most of the tech companies benefiting from the presidential race had not targeted politics as a money-maker. Eventful, for instance, is an online service that lets musicians and fans publicize and find concerts. But politicians quickly latched on, especially after the San Diego-based startup launched a feature that allows people to request performers come to their towns. Eventful says that the campaigns have used this feature to gather information about their supporters and to communicate with people who have requested politicians visit their area - to get the word out about a nearby rally, for example........"

" . . . Current TV's description: "With all of the attention on this upcoming presidential election, it's hard to ignore one huge difference this time around--youth involvement. Here's a look at how young people have been such a big force in this election and how our generation has brought a new sense of excitement to the political process. . . "

" . . . Again -- possibly in light of the coming election -- musicians are putting the power into fans' hands, and following Super Furry Animals' announcement yesterday, who better to reinstate democracy to the people than the Presidents of the United States of America? The band, preparing to unveil their fifth album, These are the Good Times People, due March 11, will -- in addition to their already slated tour -- hit any five cities the world across at the demand of the fans. Want the Presidents to come to your town? Head to eventful.com and demand they do!.. . . "

" . . . Obama is also remarkably popular on apolitical Internet terrain. He regularly ranks atop Eventful, an entertainment site that helps fans join forces to request local concerts by their favorite bands. He netted appearance requests from eighty towns in Iowa and has held his own against rock stars across the country, currently ranking third behind the rap group Wu-Tang Clan... . . "

" . . . The Web 2.0 event site Eventful, which allows voters to "demand" or request that a candidate visit their hometown, noted that Obama and Huckabee (the winning candidates) had the most demands from Iowa residents among the presidential hopefuls. Each had requests to speak in more than 60 Iowa cities, more than any other candidates, Eventful noted.. . . "

" . . . At least one website ended up being a pretty accurate measure of the outcome in Iowa. Just a day before the caucuses, Eventful.com, which allows users to demand that their favorite musicians, candidates, and celebrities come to their hometown, announced that Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee had topped the list of candidates most demanded in Iowa. Obama got 1,436 new demands, bringing his total to more than 47,000 and pushing him far ahead of fellow frontrunners Hillary Clinton and John Edwards.... . . "

" . . . It’s too early to tell what effect online organizing and activism had on the night, but a look at Eventful demands provides one clue. We wrote yesterday that Obama has been at the top of the their Hottest Demands page, edging out the Wu-Tang Clan. But Eventful’s Alex Hunsucker also noticed that Obama and Huckabee were the most demanded candidates in Iowan cites. Could Eventful — which is already a hugely popular way to demand musicians’ appearances, and which, like Meetup, has an offline component that MySpace and Facebook lack — be turning into an accurate gauge of voter enthusiasm and turnout? . . . "

" . . . If you check out Eventful’s Hottest Demands Worldwide page you’ll find none other than Barack Obama at the top of the page (just above the Wu-Tang Clan!). He isn’t alone among candidates; Dennis Kucinich is ninth on the page (just above a band called The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus), Mike Huckabee is 14th, and John McCain and Hillary Clinton are much further down. What does it all mean? It could have some connection to today’s caucuses, though the top spots demanding the candidates are places like Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, and College Station, TX. Of course, Iowans don’t have to demand candidates since they’ve been there nonstop for the last year.. . . "

" . . . Indie bands unaware they had a rabid fan base in Lithuania -- and other young acts appreensive about turnout when they hit the road -- will appreciate Eventful . .. "user generated touring" site that lets fans requests performances and organize gigs fo their favorite acts . . . "

" . . . Performers and politicians can use the service to get highly targeted maps of where there's the most demand as well as use age demo and geographic data to serve up highly targeted messages to fans . . . "

" . . . But for the past year he's been playing all around the country, thanks in part to Eventful, a website that allows fans to follow an artist's live shows and even demand one in their city. When in Seattle recently, for instance, he posted a note on his blog that he had an empty slot on his calendar.
 
"I said on my blog, if you guys can find a venue that's got a free night on Saturday, I will happily play a show," he recounted. "Within 24 hours, people had e-mailed me a couple spots they'd found. I called one of them, and I booked this little black-box theater and did a show. And 75 people showed up. I'd never played in Seattle before." . . . "

" . . . "What sets Eventful apart is its ability to predict or showcase a demand in advance," says Andrew Rasiej, who has advised candidates including Hillary Clinton and Howard Dean on using technology in their campaigns, and is founder of the website techPresident, which tracks how presidential candidates use the Internet. When a group of people create a demand, he explains, it is a visible sign of interest in a potential event. This information can then be used to coordinate actual events. Compared with social-networking sites such as Facebook, Eventful "is probably more tied to the holy grail of online politics, which is converting online enthusiasm into offline action," Rasiej notes. He points out that people who make a demand are not merely putting a tag on a profile page: they're promising to show up at an event when it happens.. . . "

" . . . As unlikely as it seems, this event in the heart of rural America was the result of online grass-roots organizing -- on the part of Edwards and his supporters -- on Eventful (http://www.eventful.com), where users can demand that musicians, comedians and, in recent months, presidential candidates visit their home towns. . . .  
Added Edwards in an interview Thursday: "This is the beauty of the Net. It's bringing new people in, allowing folks who feel like they don't have a voice to speak up in whatever way they want." . . . "

" . . . Known for his socially conscious lyrics and positive messages, hip-hop recording artist Talib Kweli caught the attention and admiration of Amir Ali and Mena Arsalai, co-founders of Students for Peace and Justice at UC Davis.  
  When the duo heard that Eventful.com was holding a national contest that would award a free concert from Talib Kweli to the five universities with the highest demand, they decided it was a cause worth fighting for. . . . "

" . . . The odds of a candidate coming to a small town in Kentucky, which has neither money nor an early primary, are basically nil. Except that’s what Democratic candidate and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards is going to do on Oct. 4, when he will visit the town of Columbus, Ky., population 229. He’s going there because his campaign has embraced a new Web tool called Eventful.com, which is a giant repository of upcoming events and performances. But Eventful isn’t just a database. Users of Eventful can not only find out when their favorite performer is coming to their town, they can express a “demand” for her appearance.. . . . "

" . . . Plus, the idea that people can influence where a candidate goes, even when they don't live in Iowa or New Hampshire, is compelling. Apparently both Obama and McCain have also been using the site to organize events. Think about what it says: Even his itinerary is democratic! Next thing you know we'll have a wiki-candidate, with thousands of users formulating people-powered platforms, designing bottom-up logos, and writing open-source speeches. Now that would be a man of the people. . . . "

" . . . HELLYEAH has announced the results of an ongoing partnership with Eventful, Inc., the leading global events web site, in helping to identify tour markets for the band's upcoming headline run. HELLYEAH gave the power to their fans to determine which cities to include in the tour by using Eventful, Inc.'s Demand service. Eventful Demand is a viral online service that gives fans the ability to influence where their favorite artists perform by participating in grass-roots campaigns distributed across various social networking sites, including MySpace, MyYearbook and Facebook. Over 50,000 fans have "Demanded" for HELLYEAH, OTEP and BLOODSIMPLE to come to their cities. The bands and their agent used the Eventful data of where they are in Demand to route the Balls Volume Strength tour. . . "

"Eventful.com has taken the simplicity of a Craigslist format and took the creepy qualities out of MySpace to create a site where fans of all types of entertainment can "demand" their favorite acts to come to their area. Based on the concept that tours will be structured around a large base of fans, Eventful.com hopes to bring performances to you by using a simple neo grassroots method of getting the average sycophant the chance to vote for their favorite band. Navigation is very easy and music is not the only option. Authors, politicians, and many other underpaid pseudo celebrities can have their services requested. . . "

"The last time Columbus, Kentucky was a significant part of the national political dialog was more than 200 years ago, when Thomas Jefferson proposed moving the national capital here after Washington D.C. was razed. . . . This week, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will announce a stop here in early October, a result of placing his itinerary in the hands of voters through Eventful, a web–based event-planning site, a campaign spokeswoman said.. . . . "

" . . . Since start-up Eventful.com came on the scene in 2004, it's steadily been living up to its name. Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards used the site to launch a competition for his supporters, and it has become an indispensable tool for artists in the shifting world of digital music. As its name suggests, San Diego-based Eventful is all about events. Not sure what to do Friday night? Go to the site, type in what you're interested in doing, or browse by category, and presto - you get scores of listings going on where you live. . . . "

" . . . Where.com, a service of uLocate, offers numerous location widgets you can download to your cellphone. One widget works with Eventful.com to locate nearby concerts, plays, sporting events and other activities. The company offers tools to encourage developer to create even more widgets. . . . "

" . . . The demands for Columbus have been flooding in . . . " (full transcript when available)

" . . . The tiny town of Columbus, Kentucky might only boast a population of 229, but it’s beating out mega cities like Los Angeles and Dallas for the privilege of hosting former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards for a special visit to discuss his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
 
Edwards committed to answer questions in “whatever city or town has the most demanders” on www.eventful.com, a Web site where users petition bands, artists and — increasingly — presidential candidates to appear in their hometowns... . . . " (Direct link to video is here)

" . . . Overall, Demands is a really cool app. I can definitely see it becoming one of the more popular apps. Demands is a good example of a Facebook application leveraging Facebook’s network.. . . . "

" . . . Eventful has extended its Demands feature to the Facebook Platform, enabling users to request that musicians, comedians, and other performers visit their hometown. If you have an Eventful account, the application will show the entertainers you are requesting and enable your friends to “demand it” when viewing your profile.. . . . "

" . . . The competition is hosted at Eventful.com/johnedwards and will end July 18. The campaign uses the site’s free online service, which allows people from across the country to petition for their favorite performers or political figures to visit their city.
 
The metro area that demands Edwards the most will host a rally for the presidential candidate. Those seeking an Edwards appearance can also submit questions for him on the site. Edwards will then answer 10 of the winning city’s questions at the rally.. . . . "

". . . I’ve cast my vote, and hope to see the former Senator on his way to Los Angeles - which is now in the lead. California’s newly minted “early” status has given me great chances to see more of these candidates than I have in past elections. I savor every visit!.. . . . "

" . . . This afternoon Edwards released a video describing the competition and inviting his supporters to participate... . . . "

" . . . With event planning spread across the Web, legendary venture capitalist Esther Dyson has already invested in two such companies: Eventful.com, offering listings of 4 million events worldwide, and MeetUp.com, in whose headquarters she's now established her office . . . "

" . . . Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards and Eventful, the online site that lets users “demand” appearances by celebrities and candidates, kicked off a month-long contest today.
 
Called “Demand and Be Heard,” the virtual political rally — with connections in Facebook and links in MySpace and elsewhere — promises that Mr. Edwards, the former North Carolina senator, will appear in the city with the most user “demands.” Users are also encouraged to ask questions, and he is expected to answer 10 of them at the event.
 
The contest’s Web site is www.eventful.com/johnedwards and it lasts until July 18. . . . "

" . . . This will make Edwards the second candidate, after Ron Paul, to show up at an event that originated on Eventful. Right now, Los Angeles is the leading city with 126 people demanding an appearance, followed by Cocoa, Florida, which has 83 demands. Who knew Cocoa was such a hotbed of Edwards support?.. . . . "

" . . . Even furthering the notion of the operating system analogy is how, in many cases, the API provider’s own applications are being built on top of the very same APIs they’re making available to developers (the shining example there being how Eventful.com is built on top of Eventful’s APIs).. . . . "

" . . . Obama is the politician that is most requested on Eventful.com. Eventful.com allows users to demand that politicians, speakers, pundits and other political figures come to their town. As of now, Obama has 21,791 people demanding he comes to their town. The next highest demanded politician is Ron Paul who falls 12,290 people short of Obama's demand. . . . "

" . . . But, thanks to a popular Web site, people from Portland to Paris are demanding that Obama and other candidates come to their hometowns. . . . " (full transcript available)

" . . . Pop music fans had long used the website eventful.com to register hopes for a local concert appearance by a favorite artist. Soon, tour promoters were monitoring vote totals to help choose concert locations likely to draw the biggest crowds. This year, the website launched "Eventful Politics," extending the same service to supporters of political candidates. . . . "

"Politicians are on the same stage as rockers, hip-hop artists, and comedians as they attempt to reach and expand their supporters via the Web. Within the last few months, presidential candidates have begun to pop up on Eventful.com, a site where music fans and others lobby their favorite performer and writers for local appearances. Some politicians, like Hillary Clinton, have appeared because their supporters have demanded local campaign stops. Others, like Barack Obama, John Edwards, Ron Paul, and Mike Gravel, have actively pursued a place on the site and the feedback it offers. . . . "

" . . . One of the best implementation is eventful.com’s demand feature. This tool enables people in the same geographic region who share the same interests to get together at the same venue to experience a real-life face to face gathering. That is kind of like a spontaneous conference. It is the ultimate goal of community building: like-minded people getting together to share insights and incite sharing. . . . "

" . . . Eventful scans your iTunes and Last.fm lists, then fires off an email alert when your heroes come to town. Users can also "demand" a band, allowing artists to gauge their popularity by location and book gigs accordingly. It's a hit with More than music fans — one of the most requested "performers" is Barack Obama. . . . "

"Eventful, the site that lets you find and demand events on a global scale, announces today that it will be working with several presidential campaigns including John Edwards, Jim Gilmore, Barack Obama, and Ron Paul. This will be an effort to reach potential voters in the U.S. . . . "

". . . he talked about Eventful, a site where people can demand that someone come to their town, whether it's Kelly Clarkson or 50 Cent or Barack Obama. When Obama visited Atlanta, 20,000 people showed up at a rally for him. They were able to mobilize large numbers because there had been a groundswell on Eventful of people asking for him to come there. . . . "

" . . . Eventful is a social networking site that allows loose or formal groups to create gatherings. Groups can be based on physical location, interests, subjects, and events. . . . "

" . . . Want to know what's going on in your city? Check out eventful.com, a website that has the world's largest collection of events. From festivals, to concerts, to sporting events, this site covers it all in one place.

So much to see and do, oh me oh my! . . . "

"Eventful.com: Similar to Meetup.com, except at this site, you register and demand Ron Paul come to your town. The candidates with the most demands get the most notice, and if enough people sign up, Dr. Paul might just find a place to come speak or meet with voters! . . . "

" . . . In the area of Events, . . . I really liked Eventful, www.eventful.com I searched dog shows for the Bellevue area. It came up with some wonderful (and weird) competitions in the surrounding area, not just Bellevue. . . . "

"The latest online/social networking tool that the US Presidential candidates are using appears to be Eventful. . . . "

"Now, using DiscoverOurTown.com is more informative than ever! We have joined with Eventful.com to provide you with even more details about the places you want to visit. . . . "

" . . . Tween heartthrob Mandy Moore and X-rated hip-hop braggarts the Ying Yang Twins, among other performers, have partnered with the event promotion website Eventful.com's Eventful Demand function to solicit fan input in the service of organizing "user-generated" concert tours. That is to say, fan votes will result in Moore hitting the road to perform at a high-school graduation later this year. And the Twins will add five performances on college campuses to their 2007 performance schedule based on Eventful.com fan vote data . . . "

" . . . At press time, 110 people had demanded, via www.eventful.com, that Obama visit Boise. It's a site the Obama campaign is apparently tracking to gauge grassroots Internet support. The Idaho Obamans had raised about a quarter of their $2,000 goal for Obama campaign contributions, though they likely picked up more through raffle ticket sales at the Saturday event. . . . "

" . . . Eventful.com gets us to true, commercially fueled CROWD CLOUT: aggregated intentions to either persuade suppliers to pay attention, or to force them to sell at a discounted price when a group orders in bulk. . . . "

"Cape Girardeau Central High School is ranked first in an online competition to win an appearance by pop singer Mandy Moore at graduation. The competition is offered through Eventful Inc., a San Diego-based Web site that allows users to discover, promote, share and create events worldwide. . . . "

" . . . Eventful.com has come out with a new politics page where you can actually "Demand" that a candidate come to your town. You can check it out here. . . . "

" . . . Eventful.com which allows music fans in a certain city, for example, to request that their favorite group come and play there. . . . "

"Life is short, so make it eventful. Those are not my words but those of our first site, which offers a great way to keep up with what is happening in your neck of the woods and even demand that things should be happening if they are not. . . . "

" . . . Eventful.com, provider of event related APIs (as well as a full-blown Web site that sits on top of those APIs) gets this concept. Even though it has APIs, one way it demystifies them for people who are handy with little more than HTML is that it embodies them in "stickers" that you can stick on a Web site like MySpace. . . . "

" . . . the Ying Yang Twins partnered with the event promotion website Eventful.com to solicit fan input in the service of a "user-generated concert tour." . . . "

" . . . Another promising application is in touring entertainment. . . . "

" . . . Already, content companies like the real estate data website Zillow.com, and event-listing website Eventful.com are using WHERE to make their content relevant to a mobile user who may be browsing a neighborhood or looking for something fun to do -- without having to tap in a bunch of information about their location and interests on their phone. . . . "

" Here’s a new twist for the meeting industry in this Age of Engagement dedicated to the Power of Us. Imagine a site where people can not only post events but also (here’s the new part) collectively ask for a certain kind of event. The site, Eventful, is currently aimed at serving individuals in “demanding” performances. Yet imagine that an activist or disguntled member of an association decided to ask other members to join her/him at Eventful to push for a different mix of programs and/or meeting site than the one planned by the association leadership. . . . "

" . . . Several dates of the tour's dates were selected with the help of the latest live performance phenomenon, Eventful Demand, an online service which allows fans to determine a tour's stops by creating grass-roots campaigns to "Demand" that their favorite performers come to their town. . . . "

" . . . We also added charts showing the number of demands expressed for each candidate on the new site, Eventful. Eventful gives grassroots supporters the ability to request, or "demand," that the candidate come to their city. While no candidate has directly responded to this bottom-up aggregation of voter attention, several have adopted their Eventful pages. What we are seeing could be the first sign of what we're calling "candidate-relationship management," coming from below, rather than the traditional "constituent-relationship management" that comes from on high. . . . "

" . . . While in DC last week I got to meet with some of the brains behind a new Event tracking social networking site called Eventful. The guys gave me a tour through the system and I must admit… I’m hooked. Eventful allows users to submit events in their areas, and then vote them up if they think they are good events. The system runs similar to Digg in that the community decides what’s hot and what’s not. It’s a great way to promote an event, as well as find out what events are in any given town or city. Plus, the site includes tools that allow you to export events to Outlook, Yahoo, and Google calendars. . . . "

" . . . Supporters demanding that a Candidate visit their hometown can even encourage others by posting a "demand sticker" on their myspace profile or blog . . . "

"Fans of the R&B group, Pretty Ricky, are letting the group know what locations they should stop on tour. . . . "

" . . . "It is important that Pretty Ricky have accessibility to reach their fans," said manager Stephen Brush. "Eventful makes it so much easier to hit markets that tend to get overlooked since you know where the people are that want to see your act. Pretty Ricky has always been accessible via internet, phone and in person to their fans and Eventful adds a great addition in the live performance field." . . . "

"Gigul8r is the easiest, slickest way of adding events to Eventful (or any concert calendar website/software) I've ever seen. It's intelligent, ajax responses let you add natural data (Tomorrow 8pm) that are verified on-the-fly. Then they also provide printable gig-posters for promotion of that event. I got a chance to hit up the two full-time Eventful employees at Mashup Camp for a few questions on their fun side project that tied for fourth place in the Best Mashup Contest . . . "

" . . . Nextcat.com, the first social networking web site for the entertainment industry, has announced the release of capability for its members to post events taking place anywhere in the world. Using the Eventful web services API from Eventful, Nextcat has created a means for its users, who are primarily entertainment industry professionals, to post their movie premieres, record releases, shows or festivals for the entire world to see.
 
User-contributed events posted on Nextcat will appear automatically on Eventful.com, the leading events website where users can discover, share, promote, and create events, and likewise, Nextcat.com will display events contributed by Eventful users. . . . "

" . . . San Diego-based Eventful, Inc., which operates Eventful.com, a global events site, announced it has hired Tim Breidigan and Holly Anderson, to join the management team. Breidigan joins as vice president of business development. Anderson has been named director of marketing. Breidigan is responsible for developing and growing the company's strategic partnerships and relationships. Prior to joining Eventful, Breidigan served as vice president of business development at Akonix Systems. As director of marketing, Anderson executes campaigns to build consumer awareness of Eventful. Most recently, Anderson served as director of marketing and sales for the Belly Up Tavern, a live music venue in Solana Beach."

"Crowdsourcing has found yet another new function. A new website called eventful allows users to start a 'demand' for their favorite artist to come to their city and perform. The idea is that if a particular area creates enough demand, booking agents will take notice and stop through on tour. . . . "

" . . . It’s not surprising to find local shows and gigs of both well-known and obscure bands dominating Eventful. Book signings aren’t the coolest of the cool, sure, but they’re there too if that’s your thing. The same goes for science demonstrations, arts and crafts gatherings, political protests, protests, fairs, museum showings and more . . . "

" . . . Before Eventful, Glazier said, event promotion was one of the few areas that had not benefited from the ease of the Internet. . . . "

" . . .Booking agents and managers are embracing a new Web tool to identify potential live markets for their artists . . . A free service dubbed Demand, from Eventful.com, allows fans to request that specific acts perform in their local markets. The Demand tool is added to artists’ Web pages such as personal Web sites and MySpace pages and lets fans voice their opinion by clicking and “demanding” a performance. Tallies for all requests are displayed on Eventful’s Web site. . . . "

"Billboard reports that OTEP is running a promotion to let fans determine eight dates on her upcoming tour using a free service dubbed Demand, from Eventful.com. The Demand tool, which allows fans to request that specific acts perform in their local markets, is added to artists' Web pages such as personal Web sites and MySpace pages and lets fans voice their opinion by clicking and "demanding" a performance. Tallies for all requests are displayed on Eventful's Web site . . . "

" . . . Eventful – Well thought-out, user-driven database of upcoming events . . . "

"I also asked Ozzie about two innovations that Microsoft has developed for making Web applications more useful—Live Clipboard and SSE (Simple Sharing Extensions). "With Live Clipboard we are working with a number of groups internally at Microsoft. Brian Dear supports it at eventful.com and it’s in Live Writer. . . . "

"Below is a list of web sites that are the best of the best! . . . "

" . . . Created and developed by Eventful.com, hopeful tour cities can compete, click by click, with the unique Eventful Demand feature available only at Eventful.com. Fans can cast their vote by visiting Eventful.com, or adding the OTEP demand sticker to their MySpace page, blog or website. Fans flock to Eventful.com to create a virtual sticker for their favorite performers which includes the "Demand it!" button by just copying and pasting the code into any modifiable website including their MySpace pages allowing true fans to spread the word about their favorite artists virally. So will it be Cleveland or Akron? St. Louis or Kansas City? Only the fans know for sure! . . . "

" Today, I had the good fortune to listen to Jordon Glazier, the CEO of eventful, talk about his service . . . "

" . . . I went to the website Eventful and I think it could be extremely useful to us in numerous ways as librarians. . . . "

" . . . The demo runs about 30 minutes and covers; microformats, Live Clipboard, events, integration with Eventful, pictures, tagging, inserting live maps, gallery of plugins, Windows Live content, and details on how Live Writer uses your CSS templates to render true fidelity WYSIWYG. This is not a marketing demo. The demo covers most of the features but goes beyond what it does, and really gets into how it works. These guys are super smart geeks, so be prepared for a technical deep dive . . . "

" . . . I have met with the good people of Eventful. I like them. They move quick . . . "

"Bay Partners—joined by notable names Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Omidyar Network, and Esther Dyson—took a $7.5-million second-round stake in Eventful.com on Monday . . . "

" . . . The feature i liked the most from Eventful is that users can demand events for a performer. Once the demand reaches critical mass, Eventful will notify the performer of user Demands and get a response. After that users and performer can plan out further details about the event . . . "

" . . . Head to PodBop. Can it get any easier than this? Search by city and date, then podcast or download the local bands' tunes right to your desktop to hear if they're worthy of your time and money. PodBop tags all the music-related events on Eventful.com, including the recent Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival in Seattle. Excellent for road warriors. Whether you're into Decibully, Pink Martini, Old Blind Dogs or James Blunt, PodBop's got it covered . . . "

" . . . This mashup is interesting to me for two reasons besides playa planning. One: it takes the concept of event mashup as implemented by Eventful, and reinvents it for the temporary, mobile geography of Black Rock City. (Disclosure note: Omidyar Network is an investor in Eventful.) Can you imagine if geotagging had to account for cities moving every year? Two: it changes what's possible for the art and experience of Burning Man. Combine time-sequenced satellite photography of Black Rock City with pinpoint information about art, people, and activities - much less, other video/audio connection - and you can extend immediate, experiential connection and reach to a global community."

" . . . Via Eventful.com, Ms. Stover has had over 230 people "demand" that her film project be released in their area, totalling over 45 cities so far . . . "

"Can't decide what to do this weekend? Here's a Web site that shows you what's happening in your community . . . "

"Eventful.com accumulates requests, contacts artists, books gigs --- all based on what users want . . . Do you obsessively check your favorite bands' tour schedules, just to be crushed to learn they'll be hitting seemingly every corner of the nation except yours? One Web site's latest feature can fill you in on when your favorite acts will be where — and even help make them come rock your town. Eventful.com began as an event listing service in September 2005, but the recent addition of its "Eventful Demand" function is helping the masses have a hand in event booking . . . "

" . . . The Eventful story is a powerful one. In and of it’s own right, the Eventful.com Web site has so much potential to be a media play that the site alone could drive the company’s success. But the brilliance in building an API-rich service first in such a way that enables developers like McKnight and Westermann-Clark to build different applications from what Eventful.com enables all sorts of channels (many of which haven’t been thought of yet) for eventually driving users to Eventful.com where the cash register could start ringing more loudly with every page visit . . . "

"We, the movie-going audience, who are fed up with epic film-disappointments, can and will directly green-light a big-budget film and ensure that it is allowed to be well-made by demanding a screening in our town, thus proving existing audience . . ."

" . . . When Wil came out, there was a ton of applause. It's so great when there's a good energy in the room, and the room was packed with fans. I think the only empty seat in the house was next to me, because we came in so late, and that's only because they had already opened up some extra seating they hadn't planned to use. So it was a totally sold-out crowd, even though I think there was very little publicity outside Wil's blog and the Eventful demand that got the reading going in the first place. It's worth mentioning the Eventful demand, because it's really neat that, basically, fans in Boston heard he was going to be here at the end of a cruise gig, created a demand on Eventful, and it reached critical mass high enough that he booked a show... *and* then came through when it counted with the bodies in the room and, later, in the book line. It was a great model case of how a system like Eventful can make a whole bunch of people, both fans and performer, really happy without having to involve any pesky expensive middlemen. Rocking. (Check out my Eventful, where I added the blog group I co-run and an upcoming wiki conference.) . . . "

" . . . EVDB runs the Eventful website, which creates a “web ecosystem for events,” according to founder Brian Dear. “We want to see lots and lots of data with lots and lots of servers,” he said . . . "

"Wil Wheaton, who we first met in 1986 "Stand by Me", Rob Reiner's coming of age movie, where Wheaton played the teenage Gordie LaChance, has been "demanded" to appear in the Boston area by fans. Fans in Boston have used a new free web service, Eventful Demand, to mount a grass-roots campaign to "demand" an appearance by the actor/writer Wheaton . . . "

" . . . To grease the skids, Eventful Demand also provides tools for performers to encourage fans to start “demanding” them. I wonder if this could be adapted for the next Ross Perot or Wesley Clark to encourage supporters to draft them to run for office?"

" . . . It's a perfectly smartmobby technology . . . "

" . . . Popular kids on MySpace who put demands on their pages could become junior Bill Grahams. . . . This tool is an interesting way to bring democracy to the performance business . . . "

" . . . I love the idea of Eventful Demand for author events, and will pass this idea along to our marketing team. And by this posting, I'm encouraging the readers of this blog to go give Eventful Demand a try. If you want to hear from one of our authors, go start an eventful demand for that person or topic. User groups in particular could use this mechanism to recruit visiting authors. (Marsee take notice!)"

"As written previously, Eventful is a neat tool that allows the masses to determine what types of events they want to happen in their locale. Apparently, it works . . . Very cool . . . "

"Love this . . . "

"You want to see what a good mashup really looks like? Check out Atlas, from Fresh Logic Studios. It's a mapping tool that uses the Microsoft engine behind Windows Live Local, but the Atlas team has layered in data from elsewhere: traffic, from Yahoo; blogs, from Feedmap.net; events, from Eventful; Wi-Fi hot spots, from HotSpotHaven; and more . . . "

" . . . Creating an event with Eventsites also creates a page on Eventful whilst photos on Eventsites are of course also viewable from Flickr. . ."

"Eventful.com has added support for the new Google Calendar service to enable users to keep track of events found on the Eventful.com. Users can now export events to their Google Calendar in the same fashion expoting can be done via Eventful.com to calendars on Yahoo!, Microsoft Outlook and the Rabble social networking service. . . ."

Mention of Jordan Glazier being named EVDB's CEO.

" . . . The site recently launched Eventful Demand, a service to let fans lobby for appearances by favored artists. The company also licenses technology related to its event database . . . "

" . . . What's the most demanded performance in Washington, DC? As of this morning, it was the Impeachment of George W. Bush."

" . . . Overall, I think this is a pretty revolutionary capability. If people besides Wil Wheaton start using it, I think this could change the way booking agents, speakers bureaus, concert promoters, event planners, etc conduct their business. I've previously planned events in conjunction with online communities. And the event was well attended because the community had a say in the programming of the event as it was being put together."

"Self-described as "the best place to discover what you'd rather be doing," Eventful is an interesting experiment in what is, at least to me, a new area of social networking: demand aggregation . . . "

" . . . Look at it this way: With a plethora of events services popping up, event organizers have a formidable task in making sure that they get listed everywhere. A newspaper Web site can be useful if it promises people and groups that the local-events information they share with the site also will be published to a bunch of other online event services. By offering this convenience, the newspaper site becomes the favored first stop when people in the community have events information to share.
 
Going in the other direction, by pulling events data from other services via their APIs ensures that your events service is comprehensive. Don't give your online users a reason to look elsewhere . . . "

"So, probably none of you know this, but my other passion, aside from music, is the internet, and emerging new technologies and design therein. Recently I heard about a new website that I wanted to tell you all about here, because I think it's something that all of us as both music enthusiasts and music organizers and creators can benefit from. The site I'm referring to is called Eventful . . ."

" . . . The comments to Doc’s post point to a few examples of buyer intention-stating tools, like eBay and Eventful Demand. Craigslist is another. RSS subscriptions. Persistent searches. Want ads. There are lots of examples in the wild."

" . . . Creative folks can also apparently sign on to help foster demand as well. I can see a site like this being useful for author types in that it could be useful in planning book tours (or, alternately, handing the data over to publicists in order to convince publishers to pay for said book tour). In any event, if you're an author, it's worth checking out (presuming, of course, people want to see you, or that you wish to see people)."

" . . . For instance, a band that had a good number of people asking for an appearance in their town could then take that info to a club as evidence of ticket-sales draw -- or, more ambitiously, the "demanders" could organize the event themselves. You've heard of the "wisdom of crowds"; this is more like the "wishlist of crowds." At the moment, the hottest "Demand" on Eventful is for "The impeachment of George W. Bush - Washington metro area." Other than that, an awful lot of people seem to want Wil Wheaton to come to their towns."

" . . . What sets Eventful apart is a spiffy feature that allows people to let artists, authors, flaming-moe-jugglers and actors turned bloggers turned writers that there is a demand for them to appear in your hometown. . . . This is an extremely cool and useful tool for performers and their fans, because it lets us all know where it makes the most sense to schedule an event . . . "

" . . . [Eventful] Demand, a new feature at events database service Eventful, helps users rally together and demand an event in their area, campaigning on their web sites to get, say, Steve Jobs to the San Diego area or Pearl Jam to Montreal . . . "
