Calendars let you list events, search for them by location, venue, title, keyword, friends, groups, or tags, and even subscribe to feeds with a desktop aggregator or a desktop calendar (see notes). “Unmoderated calendars” support public and private events, invitations, and RSVPs, and some sort of social networking, while “listings” support no such mechanism. Many people like to search for events and attend them with friends. “Collaboratively filtered” calendars let you designate friends and contacts, whose events then appear together in a single view. Here below, publish listings for and subscribe to local event calendars.
