Soft as a Grape, And Seedless Too

Virtually all user-generated content ventures of the Web 2.0 sort launch their websites with pre-seeding of the content that they intend to aggregate and distribute. Everyone does this, because if you announced to the world the launch of your site and there wasn't any user-generated content there would be no interest and excitement on the part of the site visitor. So everyone seeds their site with pre-loaded content to create buzz. Yet this also speaks to the simple and relatively limited functionality of basic content listing sites. That's not EventSpan.

We're about to soft launch EventSpan in alpha mode, quietly and virtually seedless.  In other words, no press release (yet) and almost no pre-loaded events and profiles. We'll be reaching out to key marketers and service providers who care about lead generation for online events to communicate the features and benefits of this on-demand publishing, search, syndication, and social networking service. If you're interested in getting on this grapevine and seeding this site - via our API - with web event listing content and attendant professional profiles to the benefit of your prospects and customers, please contact us to talk.
