Although it is only in alpha stages, it is promising to be quite a wonderfully useful mash up for scene kids around the world. Here is a little preview:

The service is planned to launch with support for end users and “fans” who are just looking for quick directions to an event, however the goal is to scale this application to support many different features. Some of these features include:

• tour itinerary management for bands – bands will plot their tours and be able to interact in real time with each stop on the tour
• street team management and groups – fans will be able to subscribe to their favorite touring events and interact with them. event coordinators will be able to effectively manage their street teams.
• ticket purchasing – ticket sales for sponsored tours and demographic reports indicating high sale areas
• media and content sharing – blogs, video, photos and tons of great stuff that can be uploaded in real time directly to the application from any medium (cellphone, blackberry) and associated to the event geographically
• DIY tour suggestion solution – a solution that will suggest specific tour dates for a DIY artist based on the weight that the venue or promoter records hold for their given areas of promotion

The alpha release has been issued @ http://apps.facebook.com/scenemap/ with the core site and premium service offerings planned to launch next spring. ]]> http://blog.slajax.com/2007/06/07/scenemap-alpha-release-preview/feed/
