This weekend there has been a 48-hour launch going on at the EmergeMemphis building. Four new businesses are being started up from scratch, developing business plans, marketing strategies, websites and social media presence, etc. Tonight at 6 PM they’ll present their new businesses at a reception, and the public is invited. The new businesses (with their Twitter handles) are
– Happy Potty (@happypotty), a toilet discovery engine
– Lost Petcast (@lostpetcast), a means to broadcast your lost pet to Craigslist, the CA, the Flyer, Twitter, Facebook, and local vets and hospitals.
– ScrewPulp (@screwpulp). It isn’t immediately clear what they do from their Twitter profile (need to work on that, guys), but their website indicates it will forever change the way you read books.
– Yadoog (@yadoog), a way to tell your daily story in 24 pics or less.
The EmergeMemphis building is at 516 Tennessee Street. Drinks and hors d’oeuvres will be provided at the reception. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.
This has nothing to do with the content of the post, but, in keeping with this blog’s monthly theme, here’s a pic of Mary Pat in a tube top.
