Eventbrite is sitting on so much data and an engaged audience, it makes sense for them to offer a direct-to-consumer product for event discovery. I'm just surprised they didn't do this earlier. Why now, @juliahartz? And congrats on the launch. 🙌
@rrhoover@juliahartz Not sure about the engaged audience part. I'd assume most people come around to book a specific event and leave, there is hardly a reason to stick around for anything else.
@rrhoover Hey Ryan! I’ll take a stab at this. We’ve actually been helping consumers find great things to do for some time using both our blog, (also called Rally) and the Eventbrite product. So for us, the Rally app is just a continuation of our attendee offerings, only with the Rally app we’re tackling the pain points around organizing your friends, in addition to taking on event discovery. Look forward to your feedback on the product!
@captnphilip I think it's a crappy strategy for social products. The adoption fundamentally depends on how many friends in your social network are using the app. It's in your best interest as the developer to reach as many people as can at launch.
Of course, it can still work out fine if your app has as solid single player value prop (ex: Instagram was iOS only at first, but it has an awesome single player use-case. you didn't really need your friends to be on the app)
Seems interesting. the android last approach has been on a roll for a few of the new apps coming out. Not digging that. I also don't get the logo, is it that events are the pointification of messaging/rallying?
I'm really liking this but bummed it's not in DC yet. Most of my adventure buddies view Facebook as the Walmart of social networking so this would be a great alternative for events. Just as long as I don't get a million event invites to so and so's pop up tubberware party. What's the process for selecting events?
Really digging the color scheme. Event organization is one of those thorny problems that refuses to be solved. A killer feature here is that Eventbrite doesn't have to kick you anywhere else to buy the ticket and see which of your friends bought one too
Thanks for trying the app and sharing your feedback! We’re in a testing phase so we’re listening to your comments and it’s super valuable as we continue to refine and iterate on the product. We’d love to hear from you directly too, you can email our team directly at rallyfeedback@eventbrite.com.
Really great idea! This could be an amazing way to gather data on what types of events people enjoy attending and what types of people go to certain events (My UX senses are tingling) :D
Very interesting app, but still lacks organization. I think users are still left to stumble across things rather than really connect with organizations and interests to which they have an affinity. There is a lot I like here, but a lot that is still frustrating. I've seen better solutions.
it looks like " Timenote - social tool " with less features
Timenote is a mobile app, the first social calendar online since 2015.
Follow what you like and don't miss an event!
Timenote does also synchronisation like Sunrise, with Google calendar, Outlook, FB Event, Meetup, Eventbrit, Evernote.
