M.J., a faithful reader of this blog, sent me a "tech tip" and I thought I would share it with you.

Upcoming (upcoming.yahoo.com). It's a great way to list events (either public or private) and keep track of things you're interested in (either by checking "attending" or "watching";). You can see who else is in each of these columns for events. I really like that you can export events to your calendar (iCal, Outlook, Google, Yahoo or 30 Boxes) with just a click or two. Upcoming also integrates with Flickr, since they're both Yahoo products. I haven't used this feature yet, but after an event everyone can link their photos of that event to the Upcoming listing.

I learned about this from my friends in London where it's used quite a lot. There's not much action in the US outside of big cities. Hampshire County has only about a dozen upcoming events. But maybe it will catch on here. It could be a useful tool for the Alumnae Association groups around the country.

Thanks for the tip M.J.
