GlowDay Launch @ DemoBar

Last night we publicly launched the GlowDay Beta at the DemoBar event in Dublin. Demobar was part part of the Future Of Web Apps European Roadtrip. The event was an incredible success for us, we got loads of really encouraging feedback and had lots of interesting conversations with the people there. I (Daniel) was interviewed by Conn for http://intruders.tv/ (coming soon) along with the other 9 start-ups that were there. It was great to see the diversity of products and ideas amongst the start-ups and to compare notes with people in similar situations as us.

Our thanks to the organisers and sponsors. I've attached some photo's of the evening below (thanks Toni!)

Press Release: GlowDay Launches its Online Survey Service

GlowDay, one of the new and dynamic start ups being nurtured by the PDC Hothouse Programme in Dublin , have launched its new Web site to help people get feedback on their own web pages. GlowDay power surveys that can be included directly on any webpage to make the process of getting quality feedback easier. The service, which is free to use, includes a powerful editor to create new surveys and polls or reuse a previously created survey from the GlowDay repository. All presentation aspects including layouts, fonts, buttons and backgrounds can be customised quickly and easily. Surveys can be fully integrated with Blogs and Social Networks (such as mySpace and Facebook) as well as corporate websites and intranets. The site also includes reporting and comparison services to provide a relevant context for feedback results.

GlowDay provides an excellent solution for all types of users, from those who are planning some complex online research to assess market trends or other who are just wondering if their mates like their new blog site.

The Blogger and Social Network market is a large one and growing rapidly. In May 2007, Blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 71 million blogs, and according to Hitwise, the US market share of Internet traffic to the top 20 social networking sites grew by 11.5 percent from January to February 2007, accounting for 6.5 percent of all Internet traffic in February 2007.

“This is our target market as these users are very receptive to new ideas”, said Garry Kelly, Founding Director of GlowDay, speaking in advance of the DemoBar event. “The community model we are developing closely matches the culture of blogging and we believe our offering is unique in that it provides appropriate contexts for results from surveys and polls, making them more valuable and allowing a more holistic view of the data.” GlowDay are one of ten Irish start-ups appearing a the DemoBar showcase of Irish start-ups being held today in Dublin
