Advertising Age, January 14, 2008
Social networking is being built around everything. I love this when it's fresh. What better way to suck time away from work than to give me a damn profile! But when it makes sense it makes sense. Sometimes the network is built around nightlife. Take Going.com . I had a chance to use this site recently when we did an event in LA. It's more kick-ass than Ticketmaster and already generating buzz amongst promoters, scenesters and artists. You know what's great? It works and I can see who's going to different events and their taste.

Venture Beat, December 28, 2007
If you don't know what to do New Year's Eve, take a look at the parties on Going, a year-old event listing site. Mos Def's 'Sneakers Required' party may not be that exciting for you if you're not in the site's targeted demographic of 21-29 year olds, but nightlife is only one area where Going wants to beat the competition (see our previous coverage here, here and here).

Going.com Gets Extra Social On Events
Tech Crunch, December 21, 2007
Events based social network Going.com have launched their 3.0 version with several new features.
Central to Going.com 3.0 is a new events and people recommendation engine that allows users to discover events and people in their area. The new features takes Going.com's event focused social networking service to nearly a dating service. Where as before Going.com recommended events and tied together friends, the new version recommends new friends based on a users event history. Essentially it's pattern based matching combined with Going.com's event engine. For example if you've been to three or more events in the one city, and someone else has as well, they may recommend that person as a friend match.

Quantcast Reaches Online Audience Milestone: Quantifies 20,000 Publishers
Media Post Publications, December 18, 2007
IN THE BATTLE FOR DOMINANCE among an ever expanding pack of Internet audience measurement services, upstart Quantcast today will announce it has reached an important milestone: signing up more than 20,000 content publishers and social media sites - many of whom are still too small to be measured by big ratings services like comScore and Nielsen Online - to Quantcast's "quantified publisher" service. While not exactly a critical mass of the Web universe, the achievement is significant because it signals that Quantcast is reaching a level of acceptance among mid-sized and smaller publishers who represent the "long tail" of the Internet marketplace, and who are generally overlooked by the big ratings services.

Stocking stuffers for the 21+ crowd: Booze gift cards
CNET News, December 5, 2007
Forget your run-of-the-mill Best Buy and Barnes & Noble gift cards. I know more than a few people who think a gift card that you could redeem for whiskey sours or Stella Artois would make a way better stocking stuffer.
