Hi Guys,
I just wanted to give out a link to a little mobile website I developed some months ago about retrieving events from 2 big event websites, zvents and upcoming yahoo. I also added eventful, but so far, there policy didn't allow me to retrieve their data for free(till a workable amount), so I just disabled it.
Have a look at http://flyev.com and tell me what you think.
I also had an attempt for the same functionality with Cascada Mobile a framework to develop java applications for several mobile phone models at once. Check here, the app is configurable to define a period of time for search, sorting, searching by venue, etc.
If by any chance you want to drop me a line about the website or the app, you can do it here or on this forum.
My attempt was to create a nice events search engine for mobile users, in a web and java version. After some development and discussions I realized that it would not be viable since I was getting the data on top of websites which, for most of them, ask for fees too high for my little salary.. So I kind of leaved the project on the side, but today I thought "What the hell, at least talk about it!", and here I am.
Now with the Semantic Web coming, there are some further capabilities, and I may think about working on it again, but this technology again, means going on top of websites giving a payable service for an amount of data used.. so in the end, I have to think money before technologie! What a shame..
