Ohi.
So I haven't updated my blog for a while... so for anyone reading this now, it may sound like I'm selling something. I'm totally not. I'm going to start writing again soon. I'm working on a script right now (yerp) but the blog needs to get some love too.
Until that time, I had to pull myself out of mothballs to actually let my readers know that there's a great new startup company here in Pittsburgh with an idea so sensational I seriously had to share it with everyone.
It's called Wawadoo. There's a link on my blogroll (to the right) so do yourself a favor and click on it and sign up for their beta.
So what's Wawadoo?
Glad you asked.
"Wawadoo" is a mashup for the phrase "what would YOU want to do." It's an internet recommendation engine. You're gonna wanna think Pandora or Netflix for real, live events and activities custom tailored to your specific interests and needs.
Log into the site and you'll see a list of events in a variety of categories: Food, activities, nightlife or set up an event to host on your own. Every time you indicate you like an event with a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" (hi Pandora) the system takes that information, learns from it and starts spitting out personalized recommendations on things you like to do.
So if you like clubs, it'll tell you about Diesel's next party on East Carson. If you like Hipster bars, it'll tell you about the PBR specials over at the Beehive. If you just want a god damn smoothie, oh hello information on Mixsters in Market Square.
Basically, if you're me it's the answer to your prayers. On any given day (or night), it'll give you an idea on where to meet your girls (or boys) for a get together on the cheap or maybe you want to impress your hot date with your vast knowledge of stuff thats going on (since you're obviously the guy/girl with your finger on the pulse of the Pittsburgh nightlife).
Wawadoo will do all of that.
Best of all, it won't give you the same old shit over and over. If you're a nerd who's a regular at all of the city's best LAN Parties, it gives you the opportunity to break out of your shell and hit some new stuff. If you're a Club Kid that wants to try your hand at some D&D, hey... you can get info on that too. Superbowl parties, roller derbies, Doctor Who get togethers, Street Racing... the sky is the limit with this website.
So... check it out. Go to www.wawadoo.com and enter your email address. They'll shoot you an invite and you can get started.
Have fun and hope to see you out and about!
