How is this different from Upcoming?


Hopefully, since this is just the start of it, it will differentiate itself from upcoming, and any other sites out there. I think it was Matt Mullenwag who said something to the like of "If you're competing against a giant company, well, you're set." Yahoo! owns Upcoming, does it get the treatment, feature updates and dedication that it had when it was a startup? Or does it fall by the wayside as the founders are working on other things for Yahoo!?

EditConf might not be anything different now, but I bet they have some innovative ideas. Plus, it's tech focused, so that's different.


You said it, Andrew. Because we are focused only on tech events, we can do things that Upcoming can't. We have a few ideas up our sleeve, so stay tuned.
