It’s one thing to have an RSS feed that syndicates a blog or website to anyone that wants to subscribe to content vs. having an event or calender that you want to share with “the world” – ie: Upcoming.yahoo.com, Last.fm,  Pandora.com, etc, etc, etc.

It was hard to find, hard to search, as Search Engines can not disambiguate such a complex questions, supporting a 2010 prediction of John Battelle that I just read today:

7. Traditional search results will deteriorate to the point that folks begin to question search’s validity as a service. This does not mean people will stop using search – habits do not die that quickly and search will continue to have significant utility. But we are in the midst of a significant transition in search – as I’ve recently written, we are asking far more complicated questions of search, ones that search is simply not set up to answer. This in-congruence is not really fair to blame on search, but so it goes. Add to this the problem of an entire ecosystem set up to game AdWords, and the table is set. Google will take most of the brand blame, but also do the most to address the issue in 2010.

After several fruitless searches on Google for  such queries as:

…. i somehow stumbled up what I was searching for, PublicDrum.

Now, I have no idea if you list events in PublicDrum if the Upcoming.Yahoo.com, Pandora or Last.fm, or anyone else will actually pick them up – but it would be nice if they did …. here’s how to get started.

If you want to syndicate events to Social Networks (like MySpace) – here’s an example of what that would look like using PublicDrum.

And, if you want to automate the whole thing … everything, you can do that with some web development work and the PublicDrum platform.

And the really nice thing about PublicDrum … it’s Free.

I do need to look at PublicDrum in more detail – just wanted my readers to know about it because it could potentially solve a lot of problems – the kind where you have to go to Upcoming.yahoo.com, Pandora, Last.fm, Facebook, MySpace, etc, etc, etc, and list events upteen times – that’s what PublicDrum is supposed to solve.

I hope it really does solve that problem.

Any thoughts – has anyone found a service that publishes events everywhere that’s better than this?  I’d like to know.
