		<description>In the nightlife business, ego tends to drive people more than worrying about the details, the party and the product, so we really strive to keep our ego under wraps and work together with all of our business partners to create a collective vision, which is sometimes direct and sometimes a compromise.</description>

		<description>I believe The Scene to be a brave step in the right direction.  I&#039;ve been utilizing their site as the base for all my social events in Hollywood and implantation couldn&#039;t be easier. I plan on fully integrating a Scene Connect (similar to Facebook Connect) into my website very soon. I won&#039;t lie, I do love Facebook however, when it comes to meeting people with the singular interest of getting intoxicated on a Friday night, the Scene is the superior tool. It is also superb for anyone that is involved in the entertainment industry, even the slightest regard; whether you are an actor, writer, musician or mere party goer. The creators are CS Grads from Berkley so their code is top not notch and the site runs smoothly as a result. Very fast as compared to the choppy myspace which is child&#039;s play in terms of overall functionality. Frankly, I believe Myspace is on its way out as a social networking tool. Perhaps that&#039;s b/c Tom has been too busy engaging with Asian car models on the side rather than working on improving Myspace. I would know. Thank you lads at the Scene for creating such a wonderful tool that is doing wonders for my website&#039;s popularity and business. Highly recommended.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve seen other sites similar to this but you have one thing going for you-there is no market leader.  Whether there ever will be one worth mentioning is a different topic I suppose.  For certain cities this would be pretty cool, especially combined with something like the goog latitude.  I live in austin, tx and we have a couple city blocks of clubs/bars that can be difficult to coordinate multiple parties in.  Probably worth verifying with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.justaskgemalto.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This*&lt;/a&gt; privacy/digital security site all the logistics of the process are ok.</description>

		<description>I remember when this was barbook and this is a great step forward.  Super clean site and it&#039;s also a good way to keep your social life separate from facebook.</description>

		<description>Nice to hear this. I think maybe we&#039;re getting slightly guilty in touting startups to build upon platforms rather than going it alone. 

Maybe too many are going straight to Facebook or Twitter to build upon when they could go it alone first?

You can always integrate with other platforms/websites afterwards.</description>

		<description>Like the interface, which is very clean, and there are seem to be a lot of venues here in Australia, which is good.  It&#039;s not new or particularly unique though.  It might not look as swish but thursdayclub.com (as one example) has been doing this for years now-merging directory and social app functions.  Just wish they&#039;d do a refresh and move the mobile app to a proper iPhone app, but that&#039;s getting off track!</description>

		<description>Hi, Pete here. Newly hired digital content editor at The Scene.

&quot;But it makes me wonder how many people who have this urge will actually boot up their computers and start planning out the best way to go about [finding a club to get drunk at].&quot;

Well I would argue that it&#039;s a pretty well-established fact that people look for nightlife info online.

But just to get a bit specific here, I personally don&#039;t like clubs. I like bars. I&#039;ll take beer and conversation over loud music and bottles of the &#039;Tron any day — well, most days. But regardless of what you like and don&#039;t like about going out at night, pretty much everyone (over a certain age) DOES go out at night (what George said), and what everyone is looking for is their definition of a good time. Few things are more disheartening that coming home after a night on the town with nothing to show for it except a slight decrease in net worth (and ... yes, why not? That WAS a double entendre.)

What we&#039;re trying to do with our mobile apps is just improve the odds of someone finding something fun to do — whatever they consider fun — on the fly. (One of many things we&#039;re trying to do with nightlife info overall.)

Let me just talk about LA for a sec. LA is sort of unique — at least as compared to the other cities I&#039;m familiar with: SF, Chicago, Portland, NYC, DC — where, if you make the decision with your friends, &quot;Let&#039;s go here,&quot; and you go there, and for whatever reason you&#039;re not impressed, you might be stuck.

L.A. isn&#039;t a walking city. There&#039;s aren&#039;t areas like the Mission in SF or Rush Street in Chicago, where if one place sucks, you can just walk out the door, look up and down the street, and see 20 other bars (The few areas in LA where there are lots of bars in a &quot;walkable&quot; area tend to be populated with the more exclusive, line-or-list–type venues — or they&#039;re near the beach, which is great if you live near the beach, but ...). So in L.A., if you do get stuck at someplace that for whatever reason you&#039;re not thrilled on, there should be a way to find what else is going on around you — special events, other bars, maybe your friend is a few blocks away with a bunch of people, maybe some band you like is playing and there are still tickets available, just whatever. But if you get to a place at 10:30 with no backup plan, you shouldn&#039;t just say, &quot;Oh well, I guess I&#039;m stuck here. Maybe NEXT weekend I&#039;ll have fun.&quot;</description>

I want to change the situation and give users a possibility to create blog that will be equally usable within facebook (as application) and outside of facebook (as a web service).</description>

		<description>Start as Facebook app and then become an independent project is a great idea and a feasible task.
