Startup Weekend Houston – Check out TipDish

Startup Weekend Houston is on it’s third and final day here at the Method Agency and the team is going strong. Lunch has arrived and each team is stocking up on the nutrients they need to keep them going. Why do they need nutrients? TipDish http://tipdish.com/!

TipDish ‘is a social media directory and wire service that connects companies, organizations, PR and Marketing Professionals with the leaders and influencers in social media.  It exists to give bloggers, podcasters and videocasters (dishers) direct, targeted access to the latest news and information from communications professionals (tippers).’

This is a very interesting concept for bloggers and PR types that want to get the word out on a variety of topics. Now there is/will be a direct source for ‘leaders in social and marketing communications professions’ to ‘accurately and effectively connect both both sides with the right information for their audiences.’

The name TipDish was one of three finalists after an elevator pitch session beating out MediaConnectr and MediaMatchup. TipDish has a cool new tag line as well – Communicate W/ Influence.

Dishers and Tippers can sign up for beta testing here http://tipdish.com/.
