Website Aims To Aid Event Planning

A new website, Mobi, has been released to help Harvard students better search for interesting activities and weekend events. One of the creators is Haoqi Zhang, a Harvard teaching fellow and Computer Science Ph.D. student, who developed the site to create a "new way to plan events together" by allowing people to either find or add activities that may interest others. The team has created an online tutorial to help guide people into how to use the website.

The creators believe that if the website is a success they would localize it in the future due to its flexibility. "There is nothing about Mobi that is university specific in terms of how it's intended to be used to plan something," Zhang said. "We're trying to understand how it works and getting a sense of how people might use it."
