It's tough working on new features for your favorite event promotion website with all this good weather outside, but we managed to churn out a few regardless. Here are some features that are now available on EventOrb.

User Type Field on Edit Profile Page
We've added a new drop down field to the Edit Profile page that allows you to tell us who you are. Are you an event promoter, DJ, performer or just a casual user

Whatever your role, you are almost certain to find an option in the drop down list that describes you. The list was compiled after careful analysis of the types of users that are enrolled on EventOrb. And what's the value of being able to select a User Type? We're glad you asked, this leads us to our next new feature.







User Search Functionality on Community Page
User Search allows anyone to carry out advanced searches for users by using several filters including-- yes, you guessed it -- their User Type, email, location, sex or name.

As more and more users sign up on EventOrb to promote their events, bands and venues, we have begun to realize that EventOrb could serve as a valuable platform for advertising your skills as a promoter, DJ etc. or look for other promoters and event aficionados that you can collaborate with.



User Event Listings Enhancements in Profile Pages
On your user event listings page, we've added a search bar to help you find your own events faster. This should come in handy if you have posted several events on your profile. We have also improved the interface drastically for your event interaction links, making it easier for you to manage individual events.

We've added a cool new link that allows you to duplicate an event and edit it's details, saving you some data entry time. We've also touched up the Emailer interface that allows you to send notifications about your events.

Further Ahead
We promised you a ticket sales engine a while ago and we intend to make good on that promise. It turns out there is a little more legal red tape involved in providing a ticket sales solution than we had hitherto imagined. Once all of that's taken care of we hope to launch a great ticket sales platform to help you monetize all the events you post on EventOrb.

Facebook anyone? No promises here yet folks, but I must admit we are increasingly growing an appetite for Facebook integration. We are dedicated to ensuring the high visibility of every event you promote on EventOrb and it seems lately, nothing says high visibility than a presence on facebook. So who knows, someday soon you would be able to add an event on EventOrb and be able to tell everyone about it on Facebook.

Enjoy the new features folks and all the great events going on during the rest of the summer.

As always, happy promoting!
