Great post! Thanks for putting this together, very helpful overview. I am with Gigsby.com, it’s a professional network with tools to simplify gig creation. Our website is for Electronic Music professionals only but I support a gig is a gig :)

The website is currently invitation-only, Private Beta and we are building additional functionalities based on user feedback. Let me know if you’d like to test drive and help us shape up the features.

ultra slick epks, advanced but user friendly email list/ fan management system. Pushes event details to all major social networks.

Basically reverbnation has everything you would ever need to market your band online and you can even download & print out high Rez posters and artist one sheets.

I am a musician not a staff member of the site and I can tell you that nothing beats it.

Did you ever try out Google Wave? From what I’ve done while fiddling with it, I think that once (if ever) it’s fully operational and open to everyone, it will be a force to be reckoned with.

There is a feature on that for creating events and having people RSVP etc. It would also probably* be able to have things imported from other sites, plus you could have multiple band members editing it at once.

Master page material me thinks… although obviously it’s all still just beta at the mo… poo

:)

*It’s been a while since I’ve played around with Wave

You’re alluding to two different posts there – one is this one by Wulf responding to a Twitter question by Steve, which really is about gig hashtags, and the other is my one about tagging music releases. HTH :-)
