1.) I've noticed that it seems hard for students to organize events (or have a good plethora of events to choose from) in college towns.
2.) I want to create an app that schedules (daily/weekly) events for students in a university. This app will be divided into tabs that describe what kind of entertainment event is taking place (Basketball game, movie, grabbing drinks at Swamp, etc...).
Those tabs will then be divided into hourly time slots (say Basketball lasts from 7pm to 9pm); these time slots will have 5 available sections for an event to be scheduled (meaning a max of 5 events can be scheduled at the same time on any available time slot). I limit the number of posts per time slot because it could easily get out of hand with unnecessary posts...
That being said, I'm also limiting the number if posts per week (maybe 1 or 2); this way one person doesn't take up every time slot. An account moderator would be in charge of clearing repeat posts or posts that don't pertain to enough people.
This app will also have a "like" or "going" button feature; this will allow the person who originally posted the event to easily get a head count of how many others would be interested in attending (an thus they could plan accordingly).
I'm leaving out any kind of "commenting" function for now because it would just turn into a Facebook-mimic; the goal of this app is to have a weekly schedule for students to easily check when entertainment events in their area are.
Here's my elevator speech:

Hello Tyson, I like where you're going with this idea and how you're going to differentiate it from Facebook's event feature. Making the app solely about events with no commenting feature is a good step towards being different from the other platforms.
