Just an FYI for YC people: Thrillist was soley responsible for getting us on to the top of delicious.com the other day. Additionally, their users browsed an average of two more pages than our typical visitors.
Discounting prestige (yeah, I know) and from a targeted user perspective, appearing on Thrillist for TicketStumbler was about 10x as valuable as appearing on Techcrunch.
How does one get on Thrillist?
Email me and I'll see what I can do.
How about an iPhone app that combines data from the calendar, contacts, and does push notification? You just open the app up when you see the notification on the icon, and it shows you the event, and if you reply yes or maybe, it adds the event to your calendar. There would be a list of recent invites to give you quick access in case you want to change your mind. A similar list of upcoming events would also be great.
That's awesome, congrats!
We were lucky enough to get Outalot onto the new york Thrillist, I agree with fallentimes - it's great exposure. We saw about 3000-4000 new visitors, many of whom were engaged enough that they even bothered to create accounts.
