Upcoming . . .

With so many Web 2.0 tools to explore, I could not decide at first what topic to pick.

In the end, I decided to explore "Upcoming" a service provided by Yahoo.com. The site provides a listing of events in a geographic area. You can search all events or go by category.

The major flaw with this event website is that people have to enter the information. It is not an exhaustive list of events. It might be a good place to search if one was not sure of where an event was being held. However, one would have to keep in mind, not all events would be listed.

It did look very easy to add an upcoming event to the site. All one would need is a Yahoo login and password.

Libraries could list their upcoming programs on this website and it would be useful to residents and newcomers to a community. Interestingly, Palomino Library (one of our fellow branches) was using Upcoming to list its upcoming programs. Good Job!
