Upcoming.org joins the Yahoo family

Seeing Upcoming.org fold into the Yahoo empire raises mixed emotions. I’m happy to see social, open events be given attention by one of the major players – and the Upcoming.org team seemed like great folk when I last interacted with them a few years ago. Early on they were amenable to serving events in iCal format so they could be consumed by clients such as eventSherpa (our product at Semaview).

On the other hand, it saddens me that we were unable to maintain momentum with eventSherpa – and that our early work didn’t live on to help the social, open, syndicated events movement.
