10Feb 15, 2012 8:31 PMAlso, mobile app like Around Me to find restaurants, coffee, and other things. hmmmm...I don't use maps to find events. That would be interesting to have access to a timeline of events that I could sort by geolocation, duration, attendees, etc. You could merge info from foursquare, eventbrite, etc.???
