I realize most of the things I write about here are pretty technical so it feels a little bit strange to be breaking the mold, but I wanted to let people know about a very exciting project I have been working on in my spare time for nearly the past year.



The inspiration came one night when I was out with some friends and we were wondering "What is there to do tonight?". We realized there was no one stop solution to answer this question, and every existing event site out there is cluttered and confusing. The goal for this project was to build a very simple, clean site that would provide event lists for any event happening on the current day.

The functionality is really quite simple. You can register an account or login with your Facebook account to post events. You can post an event for any time in the future, but it won't show up on the site or be searchable until that day rolls around. In the meantime you can still promote it ahead of time on your own site or blog and link your friends to the listing.

You can browse events by rating (hot or not - rotten tomato style), views, neighborhood, or tags and can share events on Twitter, Facebook or via email through Tonightly.

I could go on and on about it, but I think it would be better to go check it out for yourself at http://www.tonightly.com.
