Social Tool “Upcoming” Gets Better

I wrote about Upcoming a while back in a post titled, “My Favorite Social Tools: Upcoming” and I am pleased to announce that Upcoming is getting better. Yahoo has announced they have added a number of new features including:

• Undiscovered Events: now Yahoo! Local events are automatically included in metros in an effort to kick-start slow moving metros like Dallas.
• Event Filters: making RSS or iCal feeds better.
• Flickr Photos for Events: add your upcoming tag for an event to a flickr photo and Flickr will auto add a link back to the Upcoming page and vice versa.
• Buddy Icons: I could care less, but if you are excited about using your Flickr buddy icon on Upcoming – woot! you are going to be happy.
• New Events Pages
• New User Experience
