It’s On!
Over the weekend we found ourselves bored and in search of something to do around town. This sparked an idea: what if the power of Twitter could be harnessed to find things to do? What if everyone on Twitter could post about upcoming events in a way that would broadcast them to everyone? Indie bands, theatre troupes, artists, and authors–they could all spread the word about their upcoming gigs, shows, exhibitions, and signings.
We sat down and worked out the details, and then set to work. By Monday, It’s On was alive and breathing. Anyone on Twitter that wants to spread the word about an event can simply post to Twitter with:
@eventin City Name: Info about the event.
example:
@eventin Oxford: May 1, 6am - Traditional to gather at Magdalen Bridge to listen to the choir sing. http://tinyurl.com/dca4y3 #music
Nothing more required. No accounts, no follows, just a post on Twitter. We hope it will be beneficial to people running smaller events that want to get the word out, and to people looking for something fun and interesting to do!
