Phew, multilanguage tags are really a challenge. To design a reasonably efficient tagging system is already challenging enough, especially when it comes to generating A. tag clouds and B. related tags. We have optimized point B by keeping a table of cotags along with their valence, i.e., given a tag X and a tag Y we store how many objects are tagged with both X and Y. This only helps to find

No good community without a decent group feature. We have added many new features to the site recently, the main one is definitely the group feature, which allows members of the group to start group discussion threads and share a list of interesting venues and events. The creator is automatically the administrator of the group, and set up the privacy options. However, he can also promote other

We have been very busy the last weeks to convert the site to the new design (and admittedly didn't post very much into the Lovento blog). The new site is AJAX-packed, great fun and much more intuitive to use than the old one. We will post more about the new technical improvements of the site soon. Enjoy!! ;-)

We would like to thank all our readers and first users from 2005 for supporting us with valuable remarks and comments. The idea of Lovento came up to us in August 2004 and we have been developing and improving steadily since then. We went online this summer. In fact it was fun to look at our early design stages and the earliest ideas and it is hard to believe what has happened in just a little

This is just to let you know, that if you would like to post to your blog from Lovento, you can now also choose the blog you want to post to (in case you have more than one). Thanks to a modest little Ajax script, this works smoothly without reloading the page.Technorati Tags: Blogging, blog, Web2.0,Atom API

As some of you already knew, it is time for a new design. Yes, we know, the old design was kind of old-fashioned. We are still working on this, trying to make the interface much easier and more intuitive, but if you want you can already take a glance on how Lovento may look like in 2006. Comments and criticism are, as always, very welcome. Apart from the design nothing will change, don't worry

We thought about adding tagging for venues and events. However, we already have a well-tested categorization scheme. Since the page is available in multilanguage the implementation of tagging is not straightforward. But if you really really want tags please let us know.

Ok, many of you guys out there already have a nice set of photos on flickr, so why should you upload them again? It is now possible to integrate your flickr gallery easily into your profile. To make life easier for you, Lovento will try to autodetect your flickr username by using your email-address. If this fails you can still set it up manually. Once the setup is successful you will find a small

As most of you probably have already found out, Lovento is available in four languages: English, German, Spanish and Catalan. We have finally implemented the detection of language settings, which the user has specified in his browser. If the language is none of the four it will default to english.

We have done a lot of conversions of pop-up based user interactions to more intuitive AJAX-based behaviour on Lovento. This is probably a somewhat incomplete and inaccurate list, but gives an idea how the user interaction has improved due to these changes:Submitting events is now way easier. One can enter the name of the venue, the event takes places and list of matching venues will appear

After pressing the "Blog it!"-link in the top menue of the venue, one arrives at a page that looks like this.We have added and tested support for the new Atom based Blogger API, the TypePad API and the generic MetaWeblog API which we have tested with Wordpress and Drupal. Everything seems to work fine, what is missing though, is to send a trackback ping directly back to Lovento, in order to list

It is now possible to use Lovento's built-in trackback function. In the description of venues you will now find a trackback URI of the location, so if you decide to blog about a specific place, you can notify us about it and links to your blog will automatically shown on the venue-page.Technorati Tags: Web2.0, blog, Web20

to setup the official blog for Lovento.com. We have been online since July now and enjoyed an increasing interest and a steady growth. The site is designed to give the possibility to organize events, find venues and people to meet with. The primary philosophy is to maintain a social spirit, i. e., everybody can post venues and event and send digital invitatons to friends. In this blog, we will
