[edit] User Features

Users can search by keyword, date, location and category. Users also can save and/or tag events with arbitrary labels.

Unlike other event search engines such as Eventful and Upcoming.org, BusyTonight uses an algorithmic approach to compile and update the database of event listings.

[edit] History

BusyTonight is a service of Team Gigabyte, Inc., a privately held company based in New York City. Work began in January 2005 and the company was formally organized in March 2005.

The first public release of BusyTonight covered New York City only. The service was expanded to include data for 17 additional cities in early 2006, and now includes hundreds of thousands of listings for hundreds of metro areas in the United States.
