This is somewhat off-topic for this blog, but I think this blog should start to be a little bit more off-topic anyhow. Pete Caputa, of Whizspark (one of our partners), is looking for the right people to test-drive their powerful web-based event management platform, for free. Whizspark's service is not something a typical blogger would use (since, I would guess, many of us don't plan events on a regular basis), but what Whizspark has built is founded in the principles of blogging, social software and networking. One of the features that I am particularly impressed with is how Whizspark uses MySpace and sell side advertising to generate buzz and reward individuals for how well they promote an event.

If this kind of thing applies to you, or to someone you know, send them to Whizspark's trial page, or tell them to contact Pete directly.
