Upcoming.org Integration

I went to this awesome event on the Yahoo HQ this weekend (oh yes, I have moved to the United States, I am living on the Bay Area now... ), where I had the opportunity to make some new friends, met many interesting people (personal idols included), enjoy a kick-ass Beck concert and get in the mood to hack. All thanks to the Upcoming.org website, where I first heard of the conference.

And to salute our new guitar-hero overlords here is a little new feature.

Following the Flickr standard, if you tag a CCHits track with upcoming:event=id (where id is the number of the event on Upcoming) the entry will be updated to display an Upcoming icon with a message indicating that the artist is playing on an event, as well as information about the venue and dates in the music track details page.

Here is an example.

Rock on!
