Please give your feedback on our site www.furlango.com<p>It is a website that lets you find events and things to do around you - concerts, shows, sporting events, devcamps, etc.<p>Along with your comments, we would be interested in knowing about:<p>- Do you see a use for this in your daily life? If not, is there additional/different content that will get you into using something like this?<p>- What sort of events are you most interested in (I understand HN might not be the representative audience, but its still quite a big one in itself)?<p>- How do you go about planning to attend events with friends (phone/IM/text/emails/facebook)?<p>- What time frame of event search would you be interested in? This evening? Weekend? Next month?<p>We would love to hear any other comments and feedback.<p>(IE not supported at the moment)<p>Thanks!
Nice UI, I like the simplicity and familiarity quite a bit.<p>As for your questions:<p><i>- Do you see a use for this in your daily life? If not, is there additional/different content that will get you into using something like this?</i>
Yes, but it only pulled up one concert for my area (Little Rock/Jonas Brothers, yay), and I know we've got more going on than that. So you need a little more depth on your tails before I'd start using. Probably not a problem for users in bigger markets, but still.<i></i><p><i>- What sort of events are you most interested in (I understand HN might not be the representative audience, but its still quite a big one in itself)?</i>
The only type of events I can think of off the top of my head that I'd want to search would be concerts, shows at the theater (which I frequently miss out on b/c I never think to check), and local MMA fights.<p><i>- How do you go about planning to attend events with friends (phone/IM/text/emails/facebook)?</i>
My main group of friends is stuck in the email chain loop for organizing things.<p><i>- What time frame of event search would you be interested in? This evening? Weekend? Next month?</i>
Depends. Seems like this should be a third search parameter.<p>Also, I know we all hate IE as web developers, but if you don't want to throw away 60-70% of your potential traffic, you <i></i>MUST<i></i> support IE.<p>Overall, nice work.<p>Edit: Geez, how does a guy do a single line break in a post?
I'm stuck at work and on IE so I can't really see the site. You gotta support IE.<p>Also not sure about the name, will people know that Furlango is about events?
