Yeah we do see the ability for expansion as well. Under another brand of course because you are right we do limit ourselves with our stratedgy.

The reason i do not use eventful and tools like that is because of the lack of focus. I know with bandsintown that I will be discovering new local shows and nothing else. This was our primary goal.

Okay, one last suggestion. The domain zintown.com is available. Thus:

band.zintown.com movie.zintown.com

(intown.com and other better variations were already taken.)

Thats awesome. Thanks, We own a few more ___intown domains as well, but i like this idea a lot.

I think he's totally wrong and what davidw said about focus is right on. It's easy to generalize any idea, but most of the time it just leads to mediocrity. Force the expansion out of your mind until you've completely dominated your current target. By then you'll probably see much better ways to expand than this obvious generalization.

Thank you for the input staunch. I def agree with everything you said. I also think its good to set goals for yourself and think well into the future, even though most of your original ideas and plans will end up far from where you had anticipated.
