Girls In Tech

Bizzy recently launched a mobile app for local business/restaurant ratings and mini-reviews (on iPhone and Android) and instead of sitting in their air-conditioned office in the Silicon Valley, the team is in the middle of their 5000 mile “Check Out Across America” road trip to host MeetUps, get feedback and interact with the people they work for.

Bizzy lets people easily share their dining experiences with their friends in just a few seconds, by snapping a photo of a food dish and writing a Twitter-length restaurant review. Then, Bizzy uses the mini-reviews you publish to provide you with awesome restaurant and business recommendations.

The next stops on the list:

Portland
Monday, September 12. 8-11PM (8-9PM draft beer open bar)
Bailey’s Tap Room | 213 SW Broadway
RSVP via Facebook or MeetUp

and

Seattle
Tuesday, September 13. 8-11PM (8-9PM draft beer open bar)
Barca | 1510 11th Avenue
RSVP via Facebook or MeetUp

Check out the app, come have a drink and let’s chat!

Mountain View based start-up, Bizzy, is a new way for local businesses to share deals, events, tips and news with their customers.

Today they announced “What’s Happening” in San Francisco which provides us (consumers) with a listing of great offers, events and promotions from businesses in their city at any given time – all in one place.

On Bizzy, you create a customized list of your favorite local businesses and once you’re connected, your Bizzy homepage acts as a feed of updates, highlighting special deals and events from the businesses you’ve selected. All of the feed items are shareable on Facebook, Twitter and via e-mail providing an easy way for new customers to discover local businesses by learning from their friends’ experiences or from people with similar taste.

What I love about it is the fact that my inbox isn’t being bombarded with 20% off deals and the like. When I am ready to make plans for the weekend, want to shop, or whatever – I can go to Bizzy to see whats going on in San Francisco.

Wondering what to do this weekend? Take a look at “What’s Happening” in San Francisco: http://bizzy.com/happening/sf

Bizzy is also available in NYC and Dallas and I can’t wait for it to launch in Santa Cruz
