Bands In Town

What bands are in town? Something we find ourselves asking at the end of every week. BandsInTown is an easy way to check up on what's happening now, or coming up in the place you live. Bands are presented in a tag cloud format, with popular shows shown larger than others. Enter your location, select a date range, ticket price, and filter results by a genre or tag to get the best results. When you have found an interesting show, dates, times and locations are presented, along with quick links to purchase tickets. BandsInTown also has a widget that can be placed into social networks and websites that displays upcoming shows.



PeerClip

PeerClip is a way that physicians, assistants and nurses can store their favorite online resources, articles, podcasts and videos for easy access. Peers are also using the service, and can view each others bookmarks, comments and keywords made throughout the network. PeerClip's resource assistant scans what kinds of bookmarks and documents are inputted, and interprets them to discover what the most relevant medical material online is.
