Our Blog-FriendsOn May 21st at the SEDA/TCCa offices at high-noon, we will be facilitating a blogging panel made up of the area’s preeminent bloggers (read: YOU), on behalf of one of our most favorite-ist new young companies, Balaya.
If that weren’t enough, we’ll even buy you lunch and give you a comfy chair to sit in.
Balaya. Together. Wherever.
Hopefully, many of have heard of a great new company we’ve helped out named Balaya. You may have even attended their announcement we hosted last November where we celebrated the news that their corporate headquarters would be in Savannah. (Hooray!)
Balaya provides advanced web applications that help members of any group communicate and collaborate more effectively from desktops and mobile devices. What’s even cooler is that SmackDab Studios (another company we’ve given relocation love to) is developing their flagship product. Gotta love that domino effect.
Tick-it™, it’s like email but sucks less
More to the point, their flagship product, appropriately dubbed “Tick-it™ ” links groups of all types - from families & friends to organizations, project teams & companies, via a ticker that resides right on your desktop, laptop or mobile phone. It’s kinda like a CNN news ticker, only instead of national news, it’s the latest news/info from your friends, family, whoever.
It’s like a scrolling email inbox, without all the crap. I don’t know about you, but I get around 80-100 emails a day, at least half of which I could do without. Balaya’s Tick-it™ cuts through all the cruft and just displays the info that is important to you, from the people you want to hear from, when you want to hear it.
Balaya is still currently in beta (how very “Web 2.0″ of them), and as luck would have it will also be rolling out a blogging product - “Blog-a-laya anyone?” They hope this product will change the way bloggers…well, blog.
RSVP and soap box required
And if that’s not cool enough, Balaya wants your input! Seriously, this is the equivalent of Google coming to town, putting their boots on your coffee table, and asking you what you think about Gmail!! (Well, almost.)
So, on May 21st at noon, Balaya and The Creative Coast Alliance want to invite you to engage in a premiere luncheon event at the SEDA/TCCa offices in order to get your feedback on the newest, hippest blogging resource since Bloglines. After all, you are the experts. What better way to vet Balaya’s product than with a panel of experts? Pretty cool, right?
Their goal is to create an ongoing relationship with a set of lucky bloggers to help them shape, launch, and continuously upgrade the “Blogalaya” feature of the tick-it through ongoing dialogue. By getting in on the ground floor, you’ll even get early and preferential access to Balaya’s blogger offering on the tick-it™.
So, what more do you want?! Put it on your calendars already!! Come schmooze, blog and come meet a cool Savannah company doing cool things.
Come be a part of blog history. Let us know if you can make it… feel free to comment on the post, or email me or Summer.

Looks very interesting. Sign me up!
Sounds like a cool event! Too bad it’s in the middle of the day; I’ll have to read the follow-up!
What a great idea, this sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve been waiting to see Balaya in full effect. I will definitley be there. And Bob, it will be great to finally meet you in person!
I’ll be there! I don’t get much credit as a blogger, but I am big in Japan.
Hey, Blake’s not joking either. He’s been given the title “Ichi Ban Blogger” in Japan. You bloggers better recognize!
Angel, it will be good to meet you as well…I must admit I’ve always fancied your “musings” on the Paragon blog. I’ll be the devastatingly handsome one in the corner (with no hair.)
Trying to make it, though May 19 is the day before my big birthday vacation. Woop woop.
Awesome and amazing event/opportunity…
This looks cool. I have never been to a event like this but I have been a blogger for several years and think it might be cool to go to this.
Maybe I’ll meet some new “techie friends”, haha.
hmm…sounds interesting.
I’d be glad to offer my two cents, which is approximately 0.5% of a gallon of gas or 2% of a bean burrito from Taco Bell, which means that the lunch will be worth far more than my input. I’m always looking for good investments of my two cents that guarantee huge returns.
Well Lucas, if we can’t offer you a good return on your investment, what good are we??
For a $5 lunch, a 24,900% return ain’t too shabby.
I’ll be there representin’ Clark Creative. We are, after all, official bloggers now.
I’ve built a few blogging engines here and there, guess I could make it. ;)
I heard about this from a friend of mine just a few days ago. I keep hearing about these little get togethers, but only at the very last minute. This time there’s a heads up, so I will be be there to see how this goes.
