If you haven’t used the site Upcoming before, now may be a good time to check it out. Yesterday they released a new design of the site. One of the things they did was drop the .org and change the domain to upcoming.yahoo.com.
I went in and added some events to my watch list and added the RSS feed of the events I am watching to this blog index page. I even was able to get a free t-shirt for being an “old school” member of the site after I went through the process of switching over to my Yahoo ID. Pretty cool.
I’d like to build some the the social network functionality into the BikeRide.com events calendar. I’d like to give people the ability to sign in, and select events they are going to, or add comments on events they have done in the past. One of the things about living in the middle of nowhere Connecticut is that there are not many local events on Upcoming.org. I guess I could add some.
One nice thing I noticed is that since Upcoming and Flickr are both Yahoo companies and now both use your Yahoo ID, I was easily able to set my Upcoming buddy icon to the same buddy icon I have set on Flickr.
