cool new web app: try out cultureset.com

hey, take a minute to check out this new web application called
cultureset.com.  It lets you do real-time sharing with friends, of
things from your life.

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...)

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

There's a limit to how much data you can see at one time.  If you can't
see all the data in the center part, use the link up near the top with
the little numbers, to set the starting point on the cultural data.

You can look at the homepage here - it's still a little rough:

http://cultureset.com/csetcontent/homepage/homepage.jsp

It's sort of like social networking, but there's a much greater
emphasis on seeing what you have in common with the people you are
connected to, rather than just seeing how many people you have in your
network.

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