Zvents Unveils New Search Innovation to Exhibit Performing Artists
Be the First to Discover the Latest Things to Do In Entertainment
San Mateo, CA - August 14, 2007 -- Zvents, the local search engine for things to do, today unveiled its Performers search tool which enables users to explore a wide array of international performing artists and their upcoming events. The broad selection of entertainment performers ranges from world-famous celebrities and comedians to local indie musicians and bands.
A Zvents search for a performer, such as Justin Timberlake, will immediately take the user to the artist's personal profile, images, website link, and upcoming concert schedule featuring the FutureSex/Love Show tour from Madison Square Gardens in New York to San Jose's HP Pavilion. Through the selection of a particular event venue, users can also reference directions using Google Maps, view on-site information, and discover future featured performers such as Cirque du Soleil or American Idols Live.
"Zvents' Performer feature will enable curious fans to explore some of today's most engaging entertainers and enhance their awareness of local events in their area," said Ethan Stock, Zvents CEO and co-founder. "At the same time, it will also increase exposure for the artist and drive traffic to performance venues while cross-promoting other related events."
Zvents also encourages new and aspiring local independent artists of various categories to promote themselves and their activities by creating a personalized home page. Once the new Performer entry is submitted, the opportunities to be discovered by new fans and talent agents are unlimited.
As people eagerly look for exciting things to do and places to go, Performers search is a quick way to showcase different sources of entertainment and connect users to their favorite interests. Zvents continues to build features with the latest in search technology to give users an advanced and personalized entertainment experience.
