Spotted in the Wild! - Srchr

Gentle reader, let me introduce you to this blog's "newest" category: Spotted in the Wild!

I say "newest" in quotes because we've been posting the Spotted in the Wild series over on our Labs blog for the past year or so. We've used it to highlight the work of creative programmers who are using Eventful's API* to make it easier to find out about the events you care about. We're moving the series over here to make sure that more people know about the cool sites we've found.


Srchr

The latest site we've found using our mighty API is the mysterious Srchr. In addition to boasting a charming devil-may-care disregard of vowels, they claim to be the world's first-ever "Search Aggregator."

Srchr provides a simple customizable interface that allows you to search an unlimited number of sites simultaneously. At press time, they provide 26 default search sites, and Eventful is one of them! Entering a search term is like bombing yourself with content, be it video, ebay items, news, or event information. Go give it a shot!

*An API is like a toolbox that we give to programmers to help them write programs that tap into our database. More info on our (seriously awesome) API can be found at api.eventful.com!
