Problem Statement

Organizing the short-notice, quasi-important social events (like a basketball game, dinner, game of chess, ...) that make up a great portion of our everyday lives has not been tackled successfully by any social networking site.  There is demand in today's society for a quick, accessible, and non-committal way to initiate the forming of an event, then unobtrusively inform others on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, and have quick feedback as to who is interested in attending.

We hope to cater to the demand with our webapp, EventHub. We have a few particular objectives that would make this website particularly attractive:

• an easier/more efficient way to filter friends and invite people to an event than on Facebook (scroll through all your friends and check their box if you want to invite them)
• an interface that gives spatial perspective as to where an event is occurring/what other events may be happening in any particular area.
• an easy way to manage the logistics of the event (take into account availability, remind people to come, figure out who's bringing what, rides, etc.)
• making an online event posting a more personal/less abstracted experience. 
• ambitious for this 6.813, but suggest events based on events a user has enjoyed in the past (perhaps based on shared circles of friends, type of venue, activity, etc.)
