So now that Socializr is announcing their new event aggregation platform — Socializr Event Connect — to let users view event invitations across multiple sites, we have to wonder if it's the feature that can help Socializr turn the corner.
In theory and practice, Socializr's Event Connect product is pretty cool. Users will be able to integrate all their event invitations and event photos in one place. Sites that are supported include Evite, Facebook, Google Calendar, Meetup, MySpace, and Upcoming.
And Event Connect only gets better in usefulness, since users can customize types of events to show (ie. RSVP'd yes, no, maybe), pull in event photos from sites like Facebook, and Flickr, tag those photos, and even have a better way to filter and view friends' events.
Also of note is that the new platform supports inviting event guests from both MySpace and Facebook. So now instead of creating an event and manually inviting friends via email, users can quickly turn their guest list into a who's who of friends from the dueling social network hubs.
We think that Socializr Event Connect definitely has value. Let's face it, keeping up with invitations across multiple social sites is not only daunting, but time consuming, and inefficient. Plus, it's now pretty convenient to find events that multiple friends are attending, as well as invite a huge chunk of your social sphere to your own events.
So you tell us, is the appeal of Event Connect enough to make you switch to Socializr for your event needs? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
