Tuesday, February 16 – SETXsocialcenter.com went live with FACEBOOK and TWITTER integration on every calendar listing on its website of more than 4200 events occurring in Southeast Texas.
The site that launched in April of 2009 to unify the Southeast Texas nine county area, socially, by posting all events from blood drives to formal galas in one location, is now compatible with social media giants Facebook and Twitter.
“It was the logical next step,” said Kathy Catalano, co-owner and brainchild of SETXsocialcenter.com. “Our goal has always been to not only list but promote, promote and promote events happening in Southeast Texas. Now everyone can post events from our website to their Facebook and Twitter accounts with the click of the mouse, letting all their friends, fans and followers know of that event.”
Catalano and business partner Shelly Vitanza think Facebook and Twitter integration will have broad appeal.
“It’s an excellent tool for event planners who want to get the word out about their events as well as for someone who wants to let all of his friends know that a great concert is coming to town,” said Vitanza. “Anyone can go to one of the 4000 plus events and throw the event out to Facebook and Twitter by clicking the “F” or “T” icons.”
Each event listing on the SETXsocialcenter.com website already provides detailed event information, contact information, google mapping, the ability to download an event to a personal calendar or to invite a friend via email. Facebook and Twitter now complete the menu of options for events.
For example, someone interested in letting all of her friends know about Beautify Beaumont’s 1000 tree giveaway on February 20, can click that event on SETXsocialcenter.com and then click Facebook and the date, time, place and contact info for that event will be posted to her Facebook profile for all her friends to see. Or a company like Courville’s who host concerts, can click on one of their concert listings and that event will be posted to the Courville’s Facebook page and/or Tweeted.
“Every organization has its calendar running on its site,” said Catalano. “But no other website compiles, organizes and maintains all of those individual organizational calendar listings like SETXsocialcenter.com does. Now with Facebook and Twitter integration, Southeast Texas can truly be socially centered and we can all know the great events we have going on in our area, and share them with our BFFs!”
