Let me ask you this... Where do you get your social media event info? If it's not here, or if you use a collection of calendars to get your info, would you prefer to have one point of contact?
Well, I'm not sure that's going to happen. Even I need to go to other calendars regularly to find out what's going on in Boston. From Tweetups to networking to business events, I scour the Internet and even the calendars other folks keep so that I can be sure not to miss an event.
I regularly find listings on Boston Tweetup, from Kristen Haley and from the MiTX events board. I even look at Meetup, Upcoming, Eventbrite and Mashable to see what's on tap for the next few weeks.
Ultimately, the real responsibility for remaining informed about events falls on you. Check back here regularly to see what things I've listed. But then poke around the Web to see what else is happening in town. I might not list a lot of vegetable rallies because I think veggies are the Devil's Legos. You might love them.
And while I might overlook an event from time to time, I urge you to call me out on Twitter or here in the comments so I can make the calendar accurate and comprehensive. I think everyone who keeps a calendar in Boston feels that way - we're one big happy family.
So, I welcome your comments and updates.
Thanks!

Seems to me in this "advanced technical age" that there must be some way to aggregate events. It may take a new tagging methodology, or the selection of a box on the part of an event organizer to send it to the "Big Calendar," but it can't be that hard. And when it does, it should push events to us, the subscribers to that calendar, based on criteria we select to filter the digest of upcoming events (location, activity type, cost, host, etc.)
Make it happen, Jeff!
