Speakin’ Geek: Why No “Google Happenings”?

Seems like I have a lot on my mind while driving… I need more co-stars to make this stuff interesting…

Been thinking a lot recently about how there seems to be no “events” search — no “Google Happenings.” Many of the major search engines now have local search, but that isn’t cross referenced with time. I think it would be useful to be able to aggregate, search, and sort events, and a simple events markup might really go a long way if it were implemented and widely adopted.

After posting this, I noticed CivicSpace is hard at work developing something similar to what I’m talking about.

And then 2 minutes after that, I discover Upcoming.org. Hallelujah!
