Events in the sense of: Here are all the queer reggae parties in Birmingham tonight/the next three months displayed on a map. If you decide to attend, get a semianonymous link you can send to all your friends by whatever method you chose, they can decide to attend simply by adding themselves to the list. Basically like doodle.com but with public location sensitive event listing. No signup or authentification required. There is no good reason to tighly couple all this to a online friendlist, you can just as easily manage your friends with an offline contact list that is synced to all your devices and use email/im to communicate.
