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. http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=27&year=1996&left=26&csetId=9¢er=25&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 your shared data. The stuff in the center is cultural events that you can add to your own files. There's not a huge amount of 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, and they all point back to your site - gets you 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. .... this directory has some other cultural stuff to try out...check out the comments in the star trek movies file... http://www.cultureset.com/staticWhFiles and here are some other links to try out, if you're into these other bands. van halen 2000 - 2001 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=48&year=1996&left=47&csetId=16¢er=46&homeFirst=true stereolab 2001 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=45&year=1996&left=44&csetId=15¢er=43&homeFirst=true sarah brightman 2004 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=42&year=1996&left=41&csetId=14¢er=40&homeFirst=true little river band 2002 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=39&year=1996&left=38&csetId=13¢er=37&homeFirst=true gnr 2002 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=36&year=1996&left=35&csetId=12¢er=34&homeFirst=true etang 2001 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=33&year=1996&left=32&csetId=11¢er=31&homeFirst=true dave matthews 2003 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=30&year=1996&left=29&csetId=10¢er=28&homeFirst=true fleetwoodmac 2004 http://cultureset.com/cultureset/lineViewLoader.do?right=24&year=1996&left=23&csetId=8¢er=22&homeFirst=true enjoy!!!
