About
When the UK beta website launched in March 2013, Daybees had over 230 event categories with over 1.5 million happenings of all kinds making it one of the largest event-based search engines on the web. The process for generating event listings is primarily by web scraping using algorithms with web crawlers to find any events taking place. Event data is extracted from the crawled event pages and assimilated into a data stack. This is then formatted, tagged, categorised and compiled. A software-based merging tool is used to avoid duplication so that the same events listed on a number of different web sites register as the same one. The user-interface provides an accessible way for Daybees users to find events.
Daybees was invented by Gary Morris.
