Some of the items you mentioned are in the works, you can find event filters on the right side control panel, and re-ordering events by date is something we intend to add within a week or so. We are also implementing saved preferences for members so they can eliminate things that do not interest them. We are encouraging a diversity of content in order to break the silo mentality that creates specific sites for specific topics, heaven forbid that you should want to go to a fair and garage sale all in one day, and with the same set of driving directions, right? In the current state of things that would require a trip to 2 different websites, and each of those will want to farm you out to Map quest or Google where you will have to type in your address 2 separate times and print 2 separate sets of directions, uuuuugh I get tired just writing about it.

I am a big fan of the human element; I wanted to see a mapping system where people had some measure of control. A good example of this is when a person types in their address at one of the big three mapping sites and it puts them miles away from where they actually live, they can’t just call the company and say “hey this isn’t right” and even if they could the big three sites pull unified data from one source that they do not control over. In our system you can fix that inaccuracy if it exists and move on with your life, if your public venue is wrong you can correct that as well and the next person who uses that venue will not have to repeat the process because it’s already fixed.

Definitely, we are still a work in progress and sure there are a few bugs here and there but we are nimble and can address things pretty fast so the site is improving weekly and will continue to improve at a rapid pace for years to come.
