To take the aggregation angle from Attendio to pull together great content from fragmented sites and enable consumers like me to filter through all that aggregated content to get the most relevant bits from his widgets.

It does seem that Eventful has been one of the more successful sites.

We're now around 3.5 million users, with well over 100k new users signing up each week. Contrary to Capiel's assessment, I would submit that the market is huge, global, and we're still only in the very early stages! FYI Eventful’s doing fantastically well.

That continues to be the case -- I've got a little more info coming in a separate post later.

I'd also add that there are many user generated aggregators in the space, disagreeing with the CEO's assessment that the market is small. Seems Attendio was too late to the party. Chris,
