A few years ago, I made a website that used the Facebook API to look up events in my city (I had to manually add all the venues) and show them in a nice interface on a single page, with no ads, etc.
It was amazing, I loved being able to see all the week's events in a single view. Then Facebook decided to shut down the public events API, and that was the end of the site.
The morals of the story are two: You can be notified of pop up events without being data-mined, and fuck Facebook (I know, it's "their" data, but I hate it anyway).
