"Socializer  is a new event planning and tracking community.  You'll notice that this particular website seems to have an extra vowel.  So don't get this mixed up with Abram's Socializr, which does pretty much the same thing as this newbie (and just got more funding), but the two companies don't seem to be associated in any way.\nBack to the point\u2014Socializer is a community for finding and planning events.  Right now it's limited to a handful of cities:  Baltimore and Washington D.C. areas, which is typical for a local event network that's just starting out.  With this site you can search for events or venues, view a local calendar of events, promote your own events, and create a watchlist of events you're interested in.  \nThe search and tracking tools are pretty useful.  When you first create your account, you can enter in your interests, and based on these, Socializer will offer up a list of recommended events and venues, similar to Attendio.  For each search query, you can filter findings for events and businesses, and further narrow your search to a selected mile radius, neighborhood, genre or date range.  For each individual search result, you can further explore by checking out similar businesses, users or events, or seeing what else is going on in that neighborhood.  For individual listings, users have the option of adding their own images.  You'll also be able to see comments, and other attendees.  You can add an event to your watchlist or your calendar.  Incorporating user reviews would be great for events and venues.  \nFor networking, Socializer has incorporated blogs and reviews, which are viewable by friends and site visitors.  As events and venues have \"accounts\" as well, you can send them private messages, too.  For your own landing page, you'll see the events of your friends, as well as who's attending what events.  For each event listed, there are also associated venue details, which also display the users that have added it to their list of places they visit often.  Adding maps to events (maps are currently limited to venues) would be helpful for users as well.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
