Zvents Launches Next Week
by Michael Arrington on September 26, 2005
Company: zvents
Launched: next week
Location: Menlo Park, CA

I had a chance to see a demo of the upcoming Zvents service this evening at the NetService Ventures Group office on Sand Hill Road in Menlo Park.

Mark this one down as an ajax showcase. Zvents is a complete events ecosystem, with search, event creation, calendaring, sharing and blogging/webmaster tools (lots of ajax here) for promotion of events and calendars.

It looks similar in many respects to EVDB (now eventful), although the search functionality is clearly a generation further along and it certainly is a very good looking site.

zvents opens up next week and will be launching at the Web 2.0 Conference.

Peter Caputa wrote a detailed analysis of this space, including eventful and zvents, on PC4Media.

Whoops, left this on the prior post by accident. URL should resolve to http://www.zvents.com (not avents) and it’s Caputa, not Cuputa.

Will there be a Beta version available.

Besides running my concierge and errands service, I organize events every so often so this new tool might be of use to me.

Have a good day

Hi Serge, they are launching next week. I don’t know if its a (private) beta or full launch.

 

I wrote a couple of article in which you might be interested. The first was a evaluation of CalendarHub that sparked the post you refer to by Peter: http://www.blogsicle.net/?p=61

The second is an evaluation of where I think the future of Online Calendaring is going: http://www.blogsicle.net/?p=62

Big stuff afoot!
