globefilter

tourfilter was in the boston globe on friday! This was the lead story in the weekend section, which is the expanded arts section, and included a crazy graphical explanation of the way tourfilter works, with arrows and pictures of artists flying over the whole page. Including Lily Allen, think if I can get a date with her now? The article might go behind a paywall soon, so I'll share my favorite quote after the jump...

Tourfilter casts its net far wider than Ticketmaster, and offers a more dynamic Web experience than Upcoming.org, a site that incorporates very little interactivity. In an online market already saturated with content, Marstall's creation is proof that the easiest way for fans to find music news is also often the simplest.

"Early on, I was designing everything as I'd like to experience it," says Marstall, who estimates Tourfilter receives an average of 10,000 unique users a week, in dozens of cities across the country. "The more corporate, the bigger a site is, the more bloated and useless it becomes."
