Shopped this around to a few folks in the Web/Tech scene in Ireland and they liked the idea, so we’re going ahead with it. The Tuesday Push is a way for the small but growing tech community in Ireland to make some noise about ourselves by picking a good example of an Irish Tech Company and highlighting their product(s) every second Tuesday. This co-ordinated way of highlighting our abilities will hopefully get tech companies heard a bit more and also foster more community spirit as we help each other out by getting everyone greater attention. We’ll need as much help from those in the tech scene in Ireland to work with us on this so please tune into participating blogs. Hopefully there’ll be a dedicated space for this project soon as well as a Twitter alert.
The premise is that everyone talks up a company (if they think it deserves to be) on a particular date. Every second Tuesday at it happens. Everyone tech and non tech alike are encouraged to talk about the company so that hopefully a tipping point is reached and a potential investor or journalist or partner hears/reads about the company.
If you want your company/product mentioned, please fill in this linked form. If you have a product announcement too, better again. You might consider timing it for a Tuesday Push. If you do partake please realise that you are encouraged to highlight the company of the week too, not just yourself. The more talking each other up, the better.
Today’s company is PutPlace. A blog post on them shall follow.
This is such a brilliant idea. I’ll do most of mine over at argolon.com.
Hopefully readers who like what they see will actively Digg and Stumble these stories for an even bigger boost.
Blatant Pimping: We’ll also be helping a bit by making use of LouderVoice. If anyone else wants to do the same, just add two extra tags to your posts (“review” and “rating=N”), register your blog feed as a FlagTag feed on LV and we’ll collect your coverage of these startups.
I’m off now to install the PutPlace client……….
Excellent stuff – form filled. Chat soon – Johnny
Excelent idea. There is defo a gap for this kind of thing. I’ll sign up shortly as well but want to get a few updates out.
Good idea! Form filled out!
I’ll see if I can get a post written up about PutPlace this evening, although I am a bit flat-out at the moment. I assume there’s going to be a couple of days forewarning for future Tuesday pitches?
As much as anything else, this is welcomed for giving me something to blog about every couple of weeks 🙂

Nice Damien. I’ll be sure to fill out that form shortly as we have some nice announcements coming up 😀
Hey – a similar idea struck me last Thursday at the Crunch Ludd thing.
At a suitable event (or online video pitch), run a fun competition where people pitch to an audience about a company other than theirs – perhaps with a prize for the best effort. Would be good experience for pitcher – and could give new insights/ideas to company about how to improve their pitch / hear what others actually take away from their pitch etc. Call it Pitch n Mix 😉
Ayways – that’s all a bit flighty… Looking forward to many a Tuesday Push.

Damien,
this is a great idea.
Are you interested in Tech firms outside of the WEB2.0 space?
We in WestGlobal are more Enterprise focused but would be glad to put ourselves forward when our new release is launched at the end of the summer.

Wow, excellent idea and with a gathered following. I had come accross the term “Tuesday Push” recently regarding putplace and commented on it. I ws unaware of the whole Tuesday push idea. While my comment was not at all derogatory about pushplace (indeed I descrided them as successful and innovative) I still left a link to backupanytime in the comment. I hope I didnt go against the grain here as I would love to join in.
Thanks
John
I wonder as part of the Tuesday push, would some Facebook users be willing to add the Visa application to their Facebook, giving them 100 dollars free to use on Facebook.
These users could then give their coupon code to one of the targets of the Tuesday push and let them rack up a couple of hundred dollars worth of free advertising?
Hmm.. nice idea. Just wondering, Gordon would that be against the terms and conditions of the offer? Strictly speaking, course.
Not one clue, I just throw the ideas out there. Might read into it this evening.
I read the terms of use for the coupon codes. Its a no-go im afraid.
“The promotional coupon code and advertising credits are
non-transferable and may not be sold or bartered”
Balls.
