Nice piece. The space is definitely heating up. We continue to feel that our focus on a particular demoraphic group -post-college, urban- and really connecting people offline is a key difference. We have a number of announcements coming soon, look forward to updating you.

these days i surf events thru friends, tags, groups, and geographies in ways i never would have thought of before. it makes schedule-planning a very voyeuristic activity (‘hmmm… so what are my friends thinking about doing in the next few weeks?’).

i’m sure Zvents and Eventful also have similar models, and i know of several other startups waiting in the wings with even more interesting angles, but i must say i’m a fan of Upcoming :)

i’m really surprised that this would launch without an ‘add to my calendar/gmail’ type utility…could bring new utility to groups and many other things…
