Top Web 2.0 Local Entertainment and Events Web Sites

Have you ever gone looking online for local activities and events only to find old and outdated information, or worse, no information at all? When you're looking for something to do this weekend, the top Google results on events from 2004 just don't cut it.

When you search online you want to find current information. You also go online to find information about events in your area that the local press (read: small town newspapers) don't or won't cover.

It is possible to find current event and entertainment information online, if you know where to look. These event web sites will lead to you to the right place. At the right time. In the right venue.

Top Web 2.0 Local Entertainment and Events Web Sites

Top Web 2.0 Local Entertainment and Events Web Site: Eventful

Web Site address: http://eventful.com
Tagline: "Life is Short....Make it Eventful"
Reality: Full of top-notch entertainment and activity information.

The true test of a local entertainment and events web site is its coverage of small towns and suburban areas. Any web site can compile information about cities. What about the rest of the people. Eventful passed the "local test" and then some. The amount of listings, including many that were previously unknown, was a refreshing surprise.

Eventful covers events, venues, community calendars, and performers. One of the most interesting aspects of Eventful is the "Demand" section, where Eventful web site users list who they'd like to see perform locally.

Eventful also has a strong community element, where users can easily find other local Eventful users, and join Eventful Groups.

Personalize Eventful with the calendar feature.

Top Web 2.0 Local Entertainment and Events Web Sites: PubWalk

Web Site address: www.pubwalk.com
Tagline: "Planning fun has never been easier."
Reality: PubWalk is a little more fun than the phone book, and a lot more useful for bar hopping (hopping, walking, either one, as long as it's by foot of course).
