Social networking for parties

I’ve been half-heartedly following social networkings rise in popularity over the last six months or so. About five weeks ago, some really smart people I listen to (yes, I do think there are smart people out there, perhaps even smarter than I) lifted the conversation to a new level. So now I’m paying attention. And just playing in general.

The coolest thing I’ve seen in the last five minutes is Eventful, a social network for gatherings, events and (as I’ve recently made it) pool parties! Wil Wheaton (biggest one in four counties) turned me on to the site today, and I’ve been playing. Set up my own Performer profile (Evo = Evo, remember) and added a few things to the list.

If you are an event coordinator or involved with any cons, get your arses over to Eventful and sign up. It’s got auto-updating to a bunch of other sites and the interface is pretty intuitive.

  • Hey, thanks for the mention, and thanks for setting up your performer page!

    I’ve hooked your username up to your performer record, so don’t worry about sending us that “I am this performer and I can prove it” message. Now your comments will glow with mighty performer power! [cackle!]

    Let me know if you have any questions or comments about Eventful.
