Eventful On CNN
by Michael Arrington on July 18, 2007

Good exposure for startup Eventful on CNN tonight:

John Edwards? Then maybe they should have called it “uneventful.com”?

A much better idea would have been a website that peteitions these politicians to stay away…

 

old video. Ron Paul all the way!

 

CNN.com covers a much better site: Going.com

Aaaheemmmm!! Well this definitely looks like a coverage the site could have dreamed about. But any way I hope these guys do good.

 

that’s a pretty good way of spreading the buzz and getting exposure.

 

what’s the story with her accent? mid-lantic-tastic

 

Michael Arrington - You should use eventful to determine a wild card presenter for TechCrunch20!

What better way to determine what all your cranky readers really want to see. =^)

 

Well I followed my own advice. If anyone else would like to see my new company, iRent2u.com, present at the TechCrunch20, I would appreciate your logging your vote here on Eventful!

Here is the link http://eventful.com/demand/D0-001-000382422-4

 

iRent2u.com - isn’t ready for TC20 ….

The idea is not explained enough quickly enough on the front page (which is your blog?)

The idea of the global navigation of the “5″ who,what,when where, how is amazingly generic; and amateurish.

I went there and guessed at your business model or flow; better than you described it.

 

Well thanks for the vote of confidence! =^)

I would disagree that we are not ready though. Our site is 90% complete, we already have a strong community base of supporters, and our concept has incredible potential.

Additionally, a simple generic method of explanation is usually preferable when your market is the regular world and not just the tech elite.

I appreciate the input though, even if negative. We welcome all feedback as this is the best way to improve the site.

Gotta love TechCrunch!

 
 

Oh, Italian tv is so old: Italian tg never speak about Internet and don’t use technology! http://www.solospettacolo.it/1.....-alla-cnn/

 

Jason, that was a different story that wasn’t really picked up in the online world too much.

 

This is very likely a product plug, paid for by eventful.com.

 

It seems that way doesn’t it DR?
Though that demand thing is buzzworthy. Why CNN would report it though is beyond me since its use is limited to Eventful users. how is that representative of true local demand for something?
I really can’t stand the direction CNN has taken in reporting very segmented, one-sided, specific stories. Going is sexier and Zvents more comprehensive and accurate; they should have at least alluded to those alternatives to stress that Eventful is the best place to request something, Going to find out who else is going, and Zvents to find things to do/go to.
