What is event-based social media

In short, it creates an open online showcase of an event at a specific location and a specific time that can be accessed by people who are or were at the event.

Users can contribute to the event by submitting photos, videos or comments and can interact with these photos by voting for photos and videos that they like or dislike.

If permissions permit, then event based posts can be viewed by the general public, typically this is good for large scale events.
