We use MapBox maps around the site
We suggest events based on the user’s Twitter and LinkedIn
contacts, and their interests
Each event has a page showing who is speaking and
attending, the schedule and more
Speakers get detailed profile pages
Users can track topics in specific geographical regions
The site is built around a place hierarchy
So you can see everything in a specific city, or
everything in England
Or view events for a topic in a place
Our microformats provide rich site snippets on Google
We provide GeoRSS feeds, which can be fed in to
Google Maps
Our hierarchical place database is built on top of Yahoo!
Geo Planet
We run off our own copy of the GeoPlanet database,
which Yahoo! no longer provide...
But it has been mirrored by the Internet Archive
You can explore GeoPlanet using Yahoo!’s YQL API
treebeard is an excellent library for dealing with trees in
a SQL database
Our search feature is built on top of Solr...
We support search within an area by indexing the full
place hierarchy for each event
Events have a primary venue, so we can plot them
as a single point on a map
We encourage people to attach existing venues first to help
avoid duplicates
None
Lanyrd has a foursquare app, which provides event information when
you check in to the venue
We have a tool to help match our venues to
foursquare venues
Foursquare have an API specifically for matching venues
The apps platform is very powerful, and extremely easy to
integrate with
