I’m not sure who started it first – but the “user generated event” really took off with Twestival – where Twitter was used to create events in cities around the world, with local groups taking on the job of organising the events, putting on the activities and raising money for charity.
I’m fascinated by a new project in Manchester that goes one further. The Cutting Room Experiment is a true “user generated event” taking place in the regenerated Cutting Room square in Ancoats on June 20th, that will see 12 events generated by users to the website “Cutting Room Experiment”.
