cultureset.com - social networking, but deeper...

[dan]

hey, take a minute to check out this new web application called cultureset.com.
It's for social netrowking, but it's a little different; your connections go deeper
with the people you know, rather than just knowing how many thousands of
people are in your network.

here's an example, using some sample data from the Dave Matthews Band (there's
more sample data at the end of this message, if you're not a DM fan...)

http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=30&year=1996&left=29&csetId=10&center=28&homeFirst=true

Be sure to click on "jobs" or "concerts" in the side panels, and then click "lineview".
It takes you to a visual representation of the data.

The items in the center are cultural events that you can copy to your own events.
There's not a huge amount of cultural content yet, but it's growing every day. And
here is the cool thing - all the cultural events lead back to other websites. So,
if you have your own website, you can use cultureset.com to make lists of things
(anything!), and they all point back to your site - so you can get more traffic.
There's a link called "how to publish": http://cultureset.com/csetcontent/staticpages/howtopublish.jsp

You can look at the homepage here - it's still a little rough:
http://cultureset.com/csetcontent/homepage/homepage.jsp

And, it's free!!! no email required, or anything like that. Just go to the site and start using it.
