It's an arms race to be sure, but the spam has dropped off. Fred:

We started http://www.eventbee.com in 2003, much before anyone thought about event social networking concept. Having this background, I would say 7M is too much if they are focused on developing some niche features, and it is too little if they think they are taking on entire events market. Watch out for Eventbee 2.0 (coming out in few weeks) with clear revenue model (infact we already have revenue model) Bala, President, Eventbee Events is very big market, but there are many players with different strategies, and market dynamics will not change foreseeable future.

I was searching for Concerts in Tokyo but received a list of Viagra promotions. Keeping the site clean is crucial to maintaing a serious image, but perhaps easier said than done.

The only threat to the company is related to more local services that can possibly cover events more closely.
