About CalFeed
The Big Idea
Every day, there are thousands of live events happening across the internet. Like Product Introductions, Business Webinars, Personal Live Video Streaming, Chat Room Discussions, Online Games, Live Blogging, etc. One day you might find Apple introducing their latest iPod. And the next day, you might find your favorite politician streaming a speech.
In order to be part of these events, you need to know when and where they are happening. There are tons of ways you might find out about these events, Twitter, RSS Feeds, emails from friends, chat rooms, tv broadcasts. The sources are endless. Even if you were plugged into all of those sources, though, it would take you a long time to sift through all of that data and find the really interesting ones.
That's where CalFeed comes in.

The more popular online events rise to the top for you to find. CalFeed is about instant gratification. There are interesting online events happening 24 hours a day that you can be part of.
