Upcoming, Groups, Yadda

I haven’t done a good job of writing about my Upcoming.org work in the past, but we finally launched Upcoming.org Groups (Gordon has a writeup). As he mentions, Groups is just the first step in the direction of transforming how we treat the social events. With the work quitting thing, I’ll have significantly more time to work on Upcoming.org and am looking to bang out some long overdue features in a more, ahem, timely fashion.

A few of the things at the top of the list:

  • Geocoding venues (this is easier than you might think)
  • TZ fixes (will solve so many problems)
  • Redesign (there’s a ginormous list of easy UI improvements)
  • Better invites, reminders
  • Mobilemania
  • Some really neat integration bits

I’ll try to put down writeups of future functionality and thoughts because, well, there’s some quite interesting stuff, actually. Oh, I’m starting to do some usage pattern analysis that will hopefully prove worth writing about.
