My Latest Project - Feedback welcome

Hi All,

I've been working with some devs for a while now, back from when I registered a few "Find" domains, but decided to go with a new domain for it in the end due to trade mark conflicts etc.

So here it is now.

http://www.playlocal.com.au/ Find local entertainment in your local area.

It isn't all that populated just yet but is slowly building. Now listing 2083 events in 48 venues, currently only in my home town, but is expanding.

Feel free to check it out. I decided to stay away from a directory as per the standard listing directories. I think using this system gives you more of an idea to what is happening locally.

Cheers.

Looks really nice, well done

Like it... a lot - very nice use of the maps. Couple of suggestions

1) Can you specify a longer period of time - eg a week or a month?

2) How about a function where you can nominate your current position and then be shown a map & directions to get to the event?

Very clever stuff what you've done so far. We have pubpoker.com.au - this would be a great concept for that too??

1) Can you specify a longer period of time - eg a week or a month?

The idea is to have a few thousand events listed per day, I think it may be too over populated to allow a week worth of events or longer. I will see what we can come up with in relation to that though. Currently you can change the date in the "When" popup to any specific date to see what's listed.

2) How about a function where you can nominate your current position and then be shown a map & directions to get to the event?

This is on the to do list

Also featured events will be available in the near future.

Other less obvious features:

- Disable categories by clicking the icons on bottom left
- When returning it should return to your last position/zoom

Re your pubpoker.com.au - This idea originated from a pub poker idea, I have been in that industry a few years now.

hey guys,

Have added some more features to the site lately. Including an events list (click events) a daily mailout of local events, venues listing & FB like buttons on venues and individual events.

I think the daily email is going to be a hit. We email a list of the days events in your area at 9am each day.

I need to work on some css to pretty it up, but the functionality works great imo.

It currently doesnt cover a wide area but the events are expanding to include other area's and before you know it we'll be Aus wide (hopefully).

Still working on the directions feature.
