Dance City
Heros and Zeroes || Monday, 25 September, 2006
Dance City The National Dance Agency for the North of England (or North-East, whatever!) for being the first to use a Web2.0 application for a practical purpose. That Web2.0 application is Upcoming.org, a social networking site that helps promote events by keeping users, ie: you lot, informed using clever technologies like RSS and..... other things. Welcome to the 21st Century, 'aint it marvelous?
Dance City: You just knew it was too good to be true didn't you! Yes, they also get zeroed for making a complete hash of using Upcoming.org to promote what is happening in their venue.
Duplicating venues and events is not really the point, it's a collaborative thing whereby you co-operate with all the other good folks on the internet (and there are some good ones out there) to build up a self sustaining supply of events via groups and such like.
Also, sticking a massive picture of your, not so new, building in the profile page kind of makes you look a little sad, people have feelings, buildings have broken toilets and stuff!
Just goes to show that even the smartest technology can be defeated by the stupidest of users.
It's this kind of crap that makes us want to go out and push cows over! (eh? Ed!)
