EVDB – The Next Hot Talk in Event and Calendar Management

Ross Mayfield (CEO of Socialtext) has a good post on the new EVDB demo plus a little background on EVDB’s recent Series A venture financing of $2.1M. EVDB is a maker of an Events and Venues Database. I remember learning about event and calendaring stuff back in December of last year and thought that the area was pretty cool and had a potential value proposition of simplifying people’s lives. Scott McMullan (now with JotSpot) had a good post back then entitled "Google/Internet Archive, Meet Mr. Event," that summarized the emerging area and some of the pertinent technologies surrounding calendaring and event management. Back then, I also remember exchanging some email with Brian Dear (Founder of EVDB). Started to follow both Brian’s postings about raising capital for EVDB shortly after that time and his tribulations with installing QuickBooks. It’s great to see that Brian lined up the financing. As for the QuickBooks stuff, I don’t recall whether he is a fan, but I am.
