Have you heard of Event Grabber? From their site, their goals are:
- View local events by category, theme, location or personal interest.
- Have events automatically recommended for you based on your interests
- Plan, recommend and share your events with friends and family.
- Know before you go (See ratings and reviews on events from your trusted network)
Seems familiar doesn't it?
As it turns out, a few of the features were discussed at Teleios Code Jam 2011 - we saw Team UWICS present a solution geared towards community-based event monitoring.
These folks go a step further, filling out their solution with more functionality and so increasing appeal. It's a great idea, and we're glad to see it take the field.
At the Teleios Code Jam finals, it was shared that with some more development and research the solutions should explore options in the market. A huge part of the event is to help bring sight, exposure and confidence to the students and the wider industry.
Team UWICS, and all other participants at the Teleios Code Jam this year, we encourage you to consider what it takes to build out your app, and bring it to market, and remember, we're here to help.
