Week 8 -Thing #19 - Web 2.0 Awards List

I picked Upcoming to explore for this exercise. Upcoming is a site where you can share or search upcoming events. You can search by events, places, friends, groups and popular. Under the group tab there is a directory of all the groups in the site. If you pick one of these groups additional information about the group is available, such as who the group is for, group calendar of events past and present, tags, and a discussion/ comments area. If you search by event it will bring up events in your area or anywhere. Maps and photos can be added too.
I can see Libraries using this site to promote upcoming major events, such as Great Books, Author signings, Summer Reading events, Workshops, etc. The people that attend the functions can also leave a comment if they wish, which might help in planning future programs.
