Welcome to EtherWiki. This site contains help topics for the RadioWave and EventNett web sites. Topics will include help with general site navigation along with details on using any of the APIs that access the sites.

Both those sites and this wiki are hosted by Lunarpages. Any server issues will be tracked here.

RadioWave

RadioWave aggregates schedules for different radio stations to allow listeners to browse all shows across stations by day or hour. Stations format their schedules differently and those schedules are often difficult to navigate. RadioWave gathers the information in one place and with a single, simple formatting scheme. The RadioWave server stores future schedules (normalized to GMT) as they are available.

RadioWave was first released at the end of 2004.

EventNett

Overview

EventNett is an events calendar modeled after the openness of Wikipedia. Anyone can add new events or edit existing events without having to log in or provide any personal information. There are no advertisements so you don't have to click through multiple pages or scroll past banner ads in order to view event information. More importantly, there is no central control. A single company or individual doesn't decide what gets listed or what gets prominent placement. Shows at your community theater or drink specials at your neighborhood's corner bar are as important as stadium concerts or wine tastings--all based on what you want to see.

The intention behind EventNett is to allow you to quickly find what you're interested in or to add what you think others might like. EventNett brings events to you with as little intervention as possible.

EventNett was first released at the end of 2006.

Getting started

When you first open EventNett, it will try to determine your city, state, and zip code from your IP address and then search for events in that area. The default search will display events for the next 7 days in the list view. You can use the search panel to change what events are displayed using event and location information, keywords and categories, or a specific date range.

You have several options for linking to EventNett if you want to bookmark or include EventNett results on your own web site.
