Really like this. Also if you don't know Gary'sGuide (aka Gary Sharma, the 1-man NYC startup event machine), you should connect with him --> @garysguide & http://www.garysguide.com/events
I agree w/ @rrhoover that this space is littered w/ a ghost town of previous attempts, but even some active companies like Startup Digest.
Also market is tough — not sure who you can make money from. All the more reason to try and keep product as simple as possible to keep your costs down.
I do like the community curation and daily digest strategy. It's definitely not a solved problem — I'd be happy to try and get Cincinnati going :)
@rrhoover@rywalker That is true Ry, I have been also considering to start curating lists for Startup Digest when I arrived to London, but then adding events one by one wasn't for me. Therefore I have built scraper for myself, which was easy to handle and go through the events in one place. And then other people started using it, for looking up for events. Often the problem is, that there are many sources and the manual process is just too daunting.
There are some ideas about monetization, some people expressed they would be willing to pay for it monthly, some organizers were mentioning featuring events for money, etc... we will see, but don't want to make it a ghost town and the simplicity of publishing events should be first step how to overcome this.
Cincinnati - you are in! Expect an email :)
@pieterpaul yes, you can start event hunt in your city and curate it (just let us know via http://eventhunt.io/contact), anyone else can add an event to a city, but it will be you or the curators who will publish it.
@pieterpaul Also, the system can fetch data sources, for example from eventbrite.com and meetup.com. Once you are a curator, you can add also sources to automate this. And then when someone creates new event on meetup.com it will get synced to event hunt and you can then just publish, without entering the info every day.
@sotak Ah ok, any reason why no automation? Is it the curation/quality that drives you or is it something that you'll roll out later. Seems a bit hard to scale if you guys have to deal with inbound requests manually!
@pieterpaul the idea is to make it as easy as possible for curators as well for the organizators. We should be able to fetch more of the sources. But at the end we rely on curators who are active and willing to visit the events or know someone who is familiar with the event. In terms of automation, we can handle that if we know how :) and we do want to make it as easy as possible for contributors as possible :)
