surprised to hear this. i use plancast all the time when hopping to and from new cities for tech events that locals go to. it was a great way to discover things happening for this very (niche) audience.

the search feature was great, too. for instance, searching "mobile" would bring up all mobile related events closest to your area and then around the world.

interesting read nonetheless and best of luck mark on your next project!

Agreed. I love Plancast. In fact, while tapping away in the comment box here I just copied and pasted it over here instead http://fudge.org/plancast-serendipity-as-a-service/

The idea of sharing frequency is very interesting. I think this is one of the primary reasons that Twitter always seems more active and interesting than Facebook. Twitter has built a notion that high number of tweets are not a bad thing - 10 tweets per hour won't raise as many eyebrows as 10 status updates on FB.
