It’s been a number of months (if not longer) since Yahoo showed any love to its Upcoming events service. Since acquiring the service in October 2005, the service has seen just one re-design – and few additional features since. However, in a largely-uncovered announcement earlier in the week, Upcoming now offers a new Jumpstart feature that scans your Pandora, last.fm and iTunes libraries and then follows your favourite artists on the service – alerting you to forthcoming gigs listed on Upcoming.

Whilst other services, including last.fm, allow you to easily view your favourite artists, it’s an interesting addition to the Upcoming service – and hopefully means that Yahoo are now looking at ways to build on a largely unloved product.

Back from the dead? Yahoo Upcoming gets some surprise feature love originally appeared on Download Squad on Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
