| From the Where2sing.com forum: It makes and lot of sense, and it highlights the shortcomings of W2S which was designed in an era before social networks and geo-aware applications. It's a question of deciding at what point W2S needs ot be updated or changed, and since deciding to do small updated to W2S, I'm really awaiting the point at which both a complete change needs to be done, and the direction of the required change becomes obvious.
W2S started as the information point for singers, and the Gig Listings serve exactly the use you describe. What is indeed now needed is a geo-aware web platform on which singers and hosts communicate, and this starts will mapping both geographically - but this will need to wait for the complete re-write of W2S. However, in the meantime the forums need to be used for conversation and communication, not as an advertising channel as primary purpose.
