Who doesn't want a comprehensive <a HREF="http://www.zvents.com" rel="nofollow">index of events</a>? Newspapers, radio stations, city information pages, sites are only effective when they actually feature everything; nothing is more frustrating that searching for something you know exists and it isn't listed. They can supply that. And yeah, advertising but not in the sense that you are thinking of with MySpace, why not premium placement for promotion of the activities? Premium content, premium features, etc. With a company like Zvents, the opportunity is obvious. Who doesn’t want a comprehensive index of events?

It integrates with iTunes, Last.FM and Pandora so you can actually find shows that you want to see so you won't miss your favorite bands.

It has a few technical issues such as events showing up more than once, and their search is not quite as detailed as I would like, but I love it. It's has a wide variety of events, plus their calendar integration is great. GJ http://www.60in3.com I use eventful on a regular basis.

The list goes on and on, if you're considering niche sites, which is another reason it is going to be tough to form a dominant company. We're too splintered in our interests..
