If you live in one of the cities that Going services (New York, Boston, San Francisco and Chicago) it’s a great way to find and post events. When listing an event users have the option of having it posted publicly or privately. After that, who/what/where/when/why and other basic information needs to be entered.
When an event is posted publicly anyone can find it by going to Going.com where events are sorted into Nightlife, Culture, Music and Activities categories. Each event shows event related information, a comment section and who is going. When an attendee is clicked on, you are taken to their profile. Profiles show age, location, friends, pictures, groups, upcoming and past events and more.
In addition, Going has partnered with BuyYourFriendADrink.com in a deal that allows New York area Going.com members to buy drinks for their friends directly from their profile page. Drinks can then be redeemed at more than 60 bars and restaurants in the New York City area.
Going recently launched a Facebook application. The application helps users find events, see what their friends are up to and share their favorite places.
