Goby - The real "decision engine"
Very quickly find something to do nearby or in a far away place.
Goby is a "decision engine" -enabling users to very quickly find something to do nearby or in a far away place. Its task-centric search tool is comprised of three boxes--a "what," "where," and "when."
You just tell it what you want to do and where you want to do it, as
well as some general date (or no date at all), and it goes through its
index to find you places or activities that match up with those simple
parameters.
Oftentimes this results in it finding events that fall during the time
period you originally selected, which is a pretty neat trick for a
search engine and potentially a huge time saver if you're using it for
vacation or business travel search.
The tool does many things to help you fill out its three search boxes
quickly, and get straight to the results. For one, it offers up
suggestions as you type. You can also cruise through a nested folders
of activities in its index for suggestions. In my case, it did a
spot-on job at turning "tomorrow" into in real date. It also rolled
"beers" into its food and drink category, along with providing other
category suggestions like "beer tastings", "breweries" and "bars and
pubs."
