Event Sharing

Each "region" (can be thought of as city or large geographic area) can have multiple customers or subscribers to the data. For instance, if a city, the chamber of commerce, a local newspaper, any Local Kidz Stuff affiliates all subscribed to the region's calendar, they all would enter events on their own behalf. Since the calendar uses one database to store all events the regional calendar, and each individual subscriber, would benefit from all those events being in the calendar and from distributing the workload of entering the events.

Web Service API Calendar

Markets: City governments, Chambers of Commerce, local media, local businesses, local organizations

A Web Services subscription is generally the same as the Embedded Calendar, only you get access to the Web Service API for custom use of the data. Why would you want this? The Web Service API gives you ultimate control to show only the data you want in the way you want to show it!

Data is presented in its raw form and, therefore, must be manipulated through programming on the subscriber's website. This enables a subscriber to display the data in such a way that it is impossible to tell that the data is not from their own site or database. All branding matches that of the subscriber's website.
