Example Use Cases • Community arts group
– Has their own website, but no events calendar. They submit their event listings to the site, so they can be distributed across the network. They grab a calendar widget for
their site and configure it to display their events and those of groups they support. • Local artist
– Has no website. Submits info about an art show he is featured in, so it gets
distributed to the network. Searches the site for current grants and artist opportunities.
• PR Professional – Submits press releases to site. Monitors RSS feed of local industry news, notices a
mention of a client and sends them a link. Checks calendar for local networking events.
