WhizSpark Readies a Revolution

I've come to know Pete Caputa quite well over the past year. He works hard at what he's doing and he has a vision that he's committed to chasing. I've spent quite a bit of time, both in person and online, chatting with Pete about what he's developing (and what I'm developing).

It is really nice to see something come together, and finally, WhizSpark is getting to that point where the oil is hot enough and the engine is gliding. He's not made this entirely official yet, but it's on his blog so I am gonna quote some of it here:

WhizSpark is revolutionizing the way events are marketed and organized.

There's a few really interesting things to note here. For one thing, this is a really concise explanation of the offering. Pete's a wordy guy and this was a pivotal thing to get right (he's still tweaking). We've been group editing our elevator pitch, well, it's really not simple in any way, shape or form to actually say something meaninul (and positive) in a few concise words - especially when that thing is brimming with great features.

Secondly, Pete's well aware that his target might not be out there in the blogosphere, so he's working to configure his pitch to get the message in front of the right people. Surely, we can help him talk to those people, right? I've done quite a bit of advising in the last couple of weeks on how to implement blog technologies for various people in various industries. It's clear that everyone is not inside the cloud, but we're probably close to reaching a much higher plateau soon.

If you've got any insight into how to spread your ideas to the far reaches of the blogosphere, let's hear them. If you're an event organizer, promoter or social butterfly, try WhizSpark out for your next event - Pete stands behind his offer and that counts for everything in my book.
