Blog Your Event

Check out http://blogto.com/events/. It's a fairly comprehensive Toronto events calendar and community features website that allows users to post and advertise events, and find out what's happening in the city's arts and entertainment scene.

Perhaps the best feature about this blog, setting it apart from the majority of the community calendars on the web, is that it's linked to a Facebook application - allowing for opt-in targeted event marketing. Posting your event on blogto.com connects your information with a network of Facebook users looking to find out what's happening in Toronto.
