The other day I came across a Web service called Fullseat. It is a great tool that aimed at individual user or company for the event listing, as well as keeping information on the event organized such as ticket sales, or sort of event details, etc.
Their idea is very simple. To better plan and promote the event, you can pick a specific Web address for the event you’re organizing, and then use it as a social media tool to generate the buzz. For whatever message to increase the awareness of the event, Fullseat can helps to reach more potential attendees for the event by auto-posting event to all of your other services, particularly Facebook and Twitter at this moment.
In fact, Fullseat can be a good choice for planning events – it’s easy to create a new event, just input some words on the event name, location, start time and end time as well as the detail description; picture image is also allowed and it’s ready to go. Meanwhile, its business feature, i.e. the payment processor solution is solid, with the collaboration of Authorize.net, Paypal Express Checkout, and Braintree.
My take is although you can get a specific Web address for the event, Fullseat has yet to become a significant player in event planning since the aforesaid Facebook has an “Event” app in which you can invite your friends for an event without leaving Facebook. On the other hand, tweeters might just invite friends directly by posting a status update on Twitter and this way, the event can be shared via the tweet. Their followers or friends can easily agree to attend the event by replying to the tweet instantly.
Thanks for taking a look and reviewing the service – we always appreciate the feedback.
I wanted to clarify that Fullseat is not trying to replace Facebook Events or Twitter, which are mostly used by businesses to spread their message. Our goal is to augment (or be) the business’s website, which is still considered “home base” by most business owners. For this we provide 100% HTML customization and ability to use a custom domain.
The ability to auto-post events to Facebook and Twitter is just a convenience feature to direct potential attendees back to the website – something that is often done already and usually done manually.
Thanks again for the post.
