Last month I wrote about Social Networking and mobility and where I thought it could go. Looks like things are continuing to move ahead in this area.
I just saw an article on TechCrunch that talked a bit more about a new solution in this space.
Down2Night is a service that integrates local events and venues and allows you to create alerts for yourself. It’s a combination of a voting style Digg service (you get alerts for the top voted venues/events) and the beginnings of a social networking application (in my eyes) because you could link it to networks of friends, have top voters profiled for successful events, etc. I’m not sure if you can also vote with your phone at this point.
I wrote last time that EVite would probably enter this market eventually and Down2Night might be a good acquisition target for them.
I could even see this being a good tie in for content for Digital Signage for some of the In-Bar networks that are being set up as you can provide relevant content at the bar produced by users that are both at the bar and elsewhere - almost a placed based self promotion marketplace…and we all like to self-promote now, don’t we.
