Greetings! In honor of America’s birthday, let me quote from one of Britain’s greatest leaders - Winston Churchill. The stuttering, Prime Minister once profoundly posed the question, “Why stand, when you can sit?” This question is one that I take to heart both in my personal life and professional life. Make things easy on people; make things easy on yourself. When the opportunity arises to facilitate efficiency and ease, take the opportunity to do so. In honor of this mantra, I present to you Event Seek updates designed to make our user’s experience a touch easier.
- Autocomplete is here! Don’t waste time inputting new venues into our system, chances are that we already have them. Adding events is enough of a bear without having to fully describe the locale. So, as you enter your event into our system and get to the venue portion, simply start typing the name of the venue your event is being held at and should we already have it. Simply click on it and your venue is automatically loaded. You will also notice the implementation of this feature when you are trying to send messages to friends or invite them to events.
- We are now IE 7 compatible and starting to make our way through IE 6. Soon, you’ll should have the option of discovering events on whatever non-WC3-standards-compliant browser you want!
- Lastly, and in my opinion, most importantly, we are now implementing feeds from our ticket affiliate partners. We are currently up and running with Stub Hub with many more feeds to come in the following weeks. This means that our little “Event Seek Bot” can finally take a much deserved vacation and our users can have access to the most complete event data around.
