Upcoming got an overhaul and moved closer to Yahoo!: sign-in switched to Yahoo!-ID (del.icio.us next?), renamed from Upcoming.org to simply Upcoming and changed the address to upcoming.yahoo.com (saving another $8 for a .org TLD).
However, I still wish Upcoming would be more accepted in my region, because I consider it a great way to discover new and interesting events. A comprehensive event calendar is published weekly by local magazines, so, no problem checking on everything what’s going on in the city.
What makes Upcoming interesting is of course the part where the social software comes in: users see a filtered event list where similar minded people are attending or what events are being watched by their contacts.
Music events are in the meantime well covered by Last.fm events, based on Last.fm’s recommendation method. For small “alternative” events, like exhibitions, round tables, ad-hoc gatherings etc., word-of-mouth is still the best information source here.
