I'm completely naive on both. What are the biggest differences between the two from the user side? With that quick separation (after the YC buzz fell off), is it something really obvious (e.g., cost to list) or a collection of factors?
Fansnap has been at it for 2.5 years so they have more maps & providers than us, but we like to think our UI is a little better :). Also, most of the long tail providers they include also post tickets on Stubhub and Ticketsnow so we include them indirectly.
We'll be introducing maps every Monday from now on:
Got it, thanks to you both. Wow, it's obvious on the first visit. That map is pretty nifty from them though. I can see why you're headed in that direction.
I went to both sites for the first time just now. I was instantly drawn into ticketstumbler with the events happening this weekend in my neighborhood front and center. My first reaction was to subscribe to the RSS feed (but I haven't found it yet, please add it!).
I can't use it - I'm in Canada. But I agree that an RSS feed of events results (like a feed for events happening in your area) would be a useful feature.
It looks like you guys are off to a great start. Good luck!
