Bombshelter event - Bazaarvoice info session 1/22
by Elizabeth Nichols 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Computer Science Club Members! Please join us for this event next Tuesday! [http://www.bazaarvoice.com/files/images/products/conversations_infographic_…] Who are we? Bazaarvoice is now the reigning powerhouse in aggregating and enabling online consumer product reviews that take place outside the walled gardens of Internet giants like Amazon and eBay and Facebook. So if you review a product that you purchased from Best Buy or Target or Radio Shack or Staples, you are likely doing so via a cloud-based software architecture provided by Bazaarvoice. A few weeks after purchasing that product, you may have also received and filled out a survey via email asking you to rate your purchase according to various criteria. That, too, is managed by Bazaarvoice. Your word of mouth has been monetized. Your authenticity has been captured. Join us! Come and meet us! We will be at the Bomb Shelter hosting an info session at 7pm on Tuesday, Jan 22nd. Hear about the edgy things our software engineers are working on. Learn about life in the fabulous city of Austin, Texas! $100.00 door prize will be raffled at the end of the evening (bring your resume to enter!). **RSVP via Jobmine [Description: Description: C:\Users\kathy.smithwillman\Desktop\BV_Primary_FullColor_TM_RGB_v2.jpg] Elizabeth G.
