DISQUS

Chris,

Eventful and Upcoming were in this space nearly 2 years before Attendio launched. I'd also add that there are many user generated aggregators in the space, disagreeing with the CEO's assessment that the market is small. Seems Attendio was too late to the party.

Good point, and I should clarify that Capiel told me there didn't seem to be any clear winners in the event space a year ago. That continues to be the case -- I've got a little more info coming in a separate post later.

FYI Eventful's doing fantastically well. We're now around 3.5 million users, with well over 100k new users signing up each week. Contrary to Capiel's assessment, I would submit that the market is huge, global, and we're still only in the very early stages!

Thanks Brian -- I actually talked to Jordan Glazier a few weeks ago, and have some more detailed info on Eventful that's just waiting for me to write it up. It does seem that Eventful has been one of the more successful sites.

Would love to see Gerardo take a different spin on widgets. To take the aggregation angle from Attendio to pull together great content from fragmented sites and enable consumers like me to filter through all that aggregated content to get the most relevant bits from his widgets.
