Event Nearby - A social ap for promoting your event.

Check out this cool ap that allows event coordiantors to post the details of their events on a searchable map interface. It has the look and feel of Google Maps, and offers a free promotion service on which you can post event details, description, calendar and mapped directions. The best feature is erhaps the fact that you can log in through your Facebook or Twitter account, but it doesn't look like it has an RSVP function like "Events" advertised through Facebook.
