I'm coming up
Now and again I come across a web site that I don't really get at first, and then I play with it a bit and realise this would be great for trannies!
The last time it happened was with Flickr. A place where you can stick loads of pictures and then people tell you how great you look! This would be GREAT for trannies!
Today it happened again. I stumbled across upcoming.org, a "global collaborative event calendar". At first I was skeptical, not really getting the point. There are loads of places on the web where you can find out event information.
Then I started to realise just how clever it is. Like Flickr, it stores raw infrmation (in this case "events") and then does some clever things with it. Like keep track of all the events in a particular area, or find events by tag, or see what events your friends are attending, or pick up an RSS feed of your upcoming events. You can even set up "groups", a bit like Flickr's, where you can post events that a particular community would be interested in.
That was the moment I realised that this too would be great for trannies. One place where everyone can see what TG events are around, who's coming to what event, and easily publicise their own events. So I decided to strike while the iron is hot and set up a UK Tranny Upcoming Group. I urge you to join and start adding any events you organise, or just events that you know about (you don't have to be an event organiser to add it to Upcoming).
As an added bonus I've put a feed from the group on my blog sidebar, so that any event you publish will show up here too. Just another way that Beckysweb is your site, comrades!

Good luck with the website! :-)
