They want to help us make real connections with real people. They’re combining a local event guide with social networking.

I had a chance to see a demo up close before the presentation and it is an impressive solution to a real problem. HeyLetsGo allows you to find not just interesting events but also to learn more about who’s going and what you might expect.

They have a BuzzLevel measure (patent pending) that is like Page Rank for events. The range of events is very broad and covers much more than tech events. One nice feature is that I can see what my friends are planning on doing - a pivot I find missing from something like Upcoming.

The site also can recommend people that have a lot in common with you and potentially help you find new places and people to hang out with.

Another nice feature is real-time integration that enables you to report back on an event WHILE it’s happening. That’s having your finger on the pulse of an event.
