Over at TC, Steven Poland's got a good overview of online services that incorporate event listings, social networks and match-ups (as in who else is going to this and i need a date) into one package. On the list:
- Who?s Going
- MatchActivity
- Upcoming.org
- Socializr
- Zvents
- Eventful
- Renkoo
- Skobee
- Involver
- ILCU
- HeyLetsGo
- Weekendr
- MySpace Events
Steve did leave out one of my very personal favorites--- BayAreaLinkup--which has branches in several cities and is very effective--and full of people--but if you are interested in calendaring, social networks, online dating or any flavor of these--Poland's post is a nifty must-read.
He also neglected to mention BusyTonight!
