MyPunchbowl in the News
This post written by Stephanie Fader, Marketing & PR Manager
As you know from Matt’s post yesterday, we just launched MyPunchbowl Birthday Reminders — an easy and dependable way to keep track of the birthdays that matter the most.
We got some great press coverage about MyPunchbowl Birthday Reminders and I thought I’d share some of it with you.
Terrence Russell from VentureBeat writes:
”Although I’ve seen my share of reminder/event tools, what makes the Birthday Reminder service interesting is its call to action. Whereas Facebook and MySpace mostly leverage birth dates for gift giving/micro-transactions within their sites, the Birthday Reminder service folds seamlessly into MyPunchbowl’s activity driven focus by referring users to its party planning application and free eCards. From there, it kind of makes sense to transform static birthday reminders into…well, actual birthday parties.”
Josh Lowensohn from CNET’s Webware writes:
“Where the system holds real value is that it’s deeply tied into MyPunchbowl’s other services. For instance, if it’s someone you were never intending to get a gift or a real card for, you can simply use MyPunchbowl’s eCard service and send it to them using the information you’ve already gathered. By contrast, you can also turn around and begin planning a party right away using the built-in tools.”
