Upcoming.org is a social event calendar, completely driven by people like you. Manage your events, share events with friends and family, and syndicate your calendar to your own site.

Note to self: add to that: Upcoming.org is now a part of Yahoo!

Another great concept for the web was snatched up by one of the big guys. Yahoo!’s been on a buying spree lately. Wanna make some fast cash???? Quick… start a ‘Web 2.0? company, build an app on Ruby on Rails, and build up a lot of hype around it. Yahoo! or one of the other major players will be around to buy you in no time!

All joking aside… congrats to the Upcoming.org team. It’ll be interesting to see what they’ll be able to accomplish now with the support of Yahoo!
