Review: this sucks. It takes 3 clicks to find out there's one event in the entire website.

Thanks for the feedback

I would like to use such a service, but I don't think any of them are popular enough. There was at least one other site that already does this; does anyone remember the name?

Edit: Never mind; it looks like there are quite a few others, but again none of them are popular.

I agree, users is the name of the game. That is my next step ;) looking for feesback on the ui

This will only be useful with a decent user base. Maybe if you generate publicity in Montreal, you can get enough users to make them stick around. Expanding from there might be somewhat easier.

I would focus it all on Montreal before you expand to any other cities. Once it gets popular, expand it one at a time, ala facebook. And I would make it look a little nicer.

I actually like it a lot. At first I thought it looked stupid because it was too simple -- but then I realized that was the whole point. It's really simple and really easy to use.

The other comments are a bit harsh, but they are also accurate. The problem with all the other sites that do exactly the same thing is that they have no liquidity. You have/will have the same problem. Pound the pavement.

I agree I want it to be craigslist simple so non techies can use it. But, ultimately it is only good if there is a user base. Working on it. Thank you for the comment.

As long as you have so little actual data put it all right on the front page! You have way too many steps to get to the real meat. I would use an application like this in general, but it's the network effect that you need to create, which is difficult as we all know all too well.
