SASS.IE Pre-Launch
10 Mar 2008 | Filed Under: Interpipes + Ireland + Social Networks
The things I get myself into, I tell you.
Anyway, Ellie Parker and I are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of Sass.ie, going live sometime this month. We’re going to be aggregating posts from women bloggers in Ireland to help promote some of these great bloggers into bigger audiences.
But we’re going to build a ton of content around that, too. Our hope is that Sassie will also be a single point of contact for women (I hate the word portal) to find out about networking events like Girl Geek Dinners or to buddy up to attend things like CreativeCamps and Barcamps, as well as being able to access a well-written and well laid out body of information on running and promoting web sites from commerical enterprises to personal blogs.
We’ve actually got grand plans to cram a lot of high-value stuff in there, but right now all you can do is take a quick look, read what’s in the pipeline, and add your name to the alerts list so you’ll get a quick email when the site goes live.
And yes, by Jove, men are very welcome to join in, too!

At least here I won’t be referred to as weird! I hope… ;)

Hi Sabrina, Sounds like a fantastic Idea. If you need any help let me know. There are loads of fantastic lady bloggers in Limerick (in fact we meet up all the time - in real life!!)
Anyway, I’m looking forward to the launch, sounds very exciting!!

Good luck with this ladies! Having been a community manager for a female site I’ll be both rooting for you and hopefully contributing if I can, despite my gender ;)
Pity I missed Saturday’s launch but looking forward to seeing and learning more!

Are you going to do a press release?

@Michele: Absolutely. I was planning to do one to announce the launch when we go live, but if you think one announcing the pre-launch would be useful in some way, let me know.
@Darragh Would love to have you aboard, that’s cool of you thanks :)

Sounds cool, well done :)
Best of luck with it; If you need any help, I’m just a click away.

Sounds like a great idea, though I’m a London blogger now, I’ll always be an Irish blogger at heart - it is where I discovered blogs and why I can’t stay off the Irish sites. Really cool endeavour Sabrina, hope it goes well.
