Ouch, Didn't Trumba try to do this and isn't this what Cozi is doing as well?

Ahem, you forgot to mention Eventful, the leader in the space. Eventful is growing very quickly and has almost 5 million users; it indexes over 4 million local events going on all over the world, and among many other things gives users tools to track when their favorite musical artists, book authors, business executives, lecturers, and other notable people are coming to their town. Of course, it also offers the extremely popular Eventful Demand service, used by millions worldwide to DEMAND that desired events happen.

Eventful.com the leader? According to Compete.com data, they've been on a down slide since October, and their Google PageRank has dropped from a 7 to a 6, indicating that they've lost some importance, in Google's eyes, anyway.

heh, nice follow up unregistered #3; John this is a nice news post, thanks for it: brief as their raise is interesting but not significant to warrant detail. iLike is the new sexy competitor (flavor of the week?), Zvents the "upcoming" owner in the space (they power all the media sites - numbers have to dwarf everyone else - Boston.com alone is them), and Yahoo the large incumbent (we'll see how they fare...).
