More BatchBlue in the News

It’s been a while since we’ve done a round up of all the nice things people are saying about us and how they are using our product, so we thought we’d give you an update on what’s been going on in the Wonderful World of Press.

BatchBlue on TV
Since we last checked in, we’ve been on TV (well, Hubspot TV) talking about using social media tools for business. Adam and I touched on many of the topics we cover in our Social Media for Small Business Blue Paper and we enjoyed a nice sushi lunch with one of our favorite Hubspotters Rick Burnes afterward. Fun! And delicious!

Tales from Twitter
We were thrilled to be included in Small Business Trends list “The Ultimate Small Business Twitter List“, which features companies successfully using Twitter as a communication tool. We love Twitter and have found it useful from a business perspective in a number of different ways. Is your business on Twitter? Follow us, we’ll make sure to follow back!

All the Chrises in the house
Chris Penn, who runs the successful Financial Aid Podcast, wrote an excellent post about how job hunters can use BatchBook, which is very timely in light of the present economic climate. And social media wunderkind Chris Brogan proved he’s not just another pretty face by showing us how he uses BatchBook to help him beat Dunbar’s Number.

@sbbuzz is buzzing
As Pam wrote last week, we created @sbbuzz after receiving a plea from a small business owner to help her better understand what tech tools are out there and how your average small business owner should be using them. @sbbuzz is a weekly conversation taking place between techies and business owners on every Tuesday from 8pm-10pm EST addressing these very issues.

We’ve had two successful sessions and look forward to hosting another this evening. See what people are saying in the Twittersphere.

It’s exciting to see the many different ways people are using our product, and discovering new ways to be helpful to our customers. It’s what we love doing and it’s what keeps us as busy as bees.

BatchBlue in the news

BatchBlue and BatchBook have been getting some great reviews and other exciting coverage over the past few weeks, so I thought I’d give you the highlights in case you missed any of it on our press page.

Earlier this month, our friend and a man with excellent hair Chris Brogan wrote up a product review of BatchBook on his blog (complete with screenshots and everything!) Here’s an excerpt:

I recommend BatchBook for the list sorting ability, for the tagging and slicing ability, for the Super Tags…and if you have no other form of client relationship management software, this would be a great lightweight tool.

Chris is what they call around these parts “wicked smaht”. We’re thrilled he’s using and liking BatchBook.

Another great guy and a long-time BatchBook user (since alpha, baby!) is Scott Blitstein, who writes over at Web Worker Daily. We love Web Worker Daily since we are all work-at-home Web workers ourselves. Scott wrote up his nice review highlighting our BatchBox email forwarding feature here.

I was personally very excited to be written up by Kiva as a company that is promoting their support of Kiva.org. As I’ve written in the past, we’re big fans of the site and just today were able to help fund four more entrepreneurs through Kiva’s site.

Last but certainly not least, our very own president Pamela O’Hara was just announced as one of Providence’s “40 under 40: The Next Generation of Business Community Leaders”! We’ll be writing a separate post about the award complete with pictures from the celebratory dinner. In the meantime, here’s the official announcement from the Providence Business Journal. Congratulations, Pam!

That’s the round-up. Reading that people like your product and appreciate your company’s efforts really make all the hard work well worth it.
