The Big Apps Contenders: Events

We covered the launch of the Big Apps competition here in NYC back in October. The voting opened this week for the “popular choice” and each day we will take a look at one category. Today’s category is “Events“. Remember you are only allowed one vote across all categories so make sure to look at all the apps before casting your vote.

• BigMapple – BigMapple places NYC public and cultural events on an interactive map that uses data from Twitter and Flickr to show users what people are doing and saying throughout NYC.
• Localnext – LocalNext provides an intuitive way for New Yorkers to find the city’s latest and greatest events filtered by location, category, and timeframe. Use our interactive map tool and unique time slider to navigate across the city in the time and date you want.
• Make My Day – Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the number of things you can do in NYC? Or have you felt like you’ve seen it all?  Make My Day is an application that helps local residents and tourists experience all that this city has to offer by introducing an element of adventure and excitement into their schedule.
• NYC Events: Parks, Art and Music – A listing for each category is shown and after selecting an event, you will see additional details, including a map and the ability to send the event info to a friend (via email or text msg) as well as the ability to add the event to your calendar.
• Pop To It – Pop To It allows you to quickly and efficiently find an event that interests you by providing a unique user interface based on treemaps.
