Get Out There vs Facebook Groups
Facebook Groups are free and widely used, but events are scattered across many groups and hard to search. Get Out There puts local events, clubs and plans in one searchable, map-based place that doesn't need a social network account to browse.
Facebook Groups is best for
Staying in touch with a community you already belong to.
Get Out There is best for
Discovering what's on across a whole city, without joining dozens of groups first.
