It's a simple curated list serve of free and cheap events. I get it in my inbox everyday and it's my #1 go-to for event listings.
Good features
- It displays only the current day/2 days/weekend
- It gets delivered daily so I don't feel overwhelmed w/ sorting through events for the entire week.
- By subscribing, it takes the work of searching away from me
- A popup at landing invites you to sign up for the email. If ignored, a subscribe lives on the side at all times
- Day/date/time format/bold title hierarchy makes for easy reading-I'm getting all the info I need w/out having to click through to find out the basics
- Header w/ dates and select events is inticing
- subheader w/ quick links is useful
- The preview text is very helpful for determining if I'm interested
- Links through to 3rd party site for more info
- User submitted
- Prominent social buttons
- Shows additional dates if applicable
Less good features
- No way to customize/personalize/sort
- Gets tedious if there are a lot of events
