I follow several news outlets and organizations on Facebook. This month I missed two really cool events that I would have gone to if the info hadn't hit my news feed after the event had already taken place. This is happening because of Facebook's algorithm that decides what I want to see. Does anyone have a great way to stay informed? A local blog? Twitter and particular people to follow? Any other thoughts?
But really, I think places like this are the best. I used to like it when we had the monthly "Triangle Happenings" thread, because it included all kinds of stuff; big, small, even the obscure. I always checked when I was at a loss for things to do.
(So I guess it's my veiled attempt to goad people back into the happenings thread...)
What types of events are you interested in? There is probably a facebook group or meetup for it.
Yelp.com
INDY
WRAL
Facebook (you might need to join lots of Groups)
Meetup
News and Observer
Those are the ones I can think of now.
The events page on Yelp.com is great. Even if you don't have an account you can view them. I like to log in and then click "I'm interested" in such and such an event so that I get a reminder before the day of. As a parent, I also like Carolina Parents' event page that I have bookmarked.
Twitter, lots of good Triangle follows like RUWanderer, Carpe Durham, etc
