BlahGirls? nothing to add about that. non-innovative, not fit for young girls, IMO.

I’m with bono, tweegee seems like it has a lot to offer to young adults – without upsetting their parents, which is just as important.

b)2-6 month
c)6-12month

Am I the only one who sees Blah Girls as unprincipled and disingenuous?

I understand that kids today are far more “advanced” culturally and that girls by 13 are drinking Jack Daniels and swearing like sailors, but do we really need to make the type of soulless content that “Vapid” Girls here is making?

Are the old white dudes on the stage the right people to say what is cool to tweens? Mr Kutcher is a more likely tastemaker for the 13year old – female audience but I am not sure I want Mr Kutcher setting the cultural barometer for my 13 year old daughter.

Here is my advice to him to help make Blah Girls more genuine:
1. Make the animation style less derivative to south park and power puff girls . Just a tad bit. You tried a bit here but not enough to make it feel different. (Read “cool”)
2. When you get funded hire some talented animators.
3. Really try to make it different, not “like” something else.
4. Spend more time on the Eliza Engine used in the “ask us” section. It is a bit too shallow. I typed in “Sex” and it said “most definitely” WahWahWhat!?!?
5. Give some value to the audience – your users. More than just finding out about Brangelinas latest.

I hope whomever invests in Blah Girls is also giving a lot of money to charity and other causes because they are most definitely going to hell.

Sincerely apologize for the “Spammy” comments…

We are just excited as this is our first day and we would really like to show our baby. Nevertheless, we believe in the spirit if TC50 and took the chance to launch it “in conjunction” with the event.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. Really hope to seek your patience and support.

Be jolly, more 52 great startups are launching this week!

NOTE: WIll tone down the “notices” …

[...] Group 1 – Youth & Entertainment: None The ideas presented were nice, but I didn’t like one idea enough to point somebody out. The video from “Blah Blah Girls” was funny, but I don’t really see the potential for this content-creation company to become huge (plan is 2-3 videos of teen celeb gossip a week + interactivity features). If it wasn’t a company from Ashton Kutcher, I doubt it would have been part of the 50 finalists. [...]

This is Best Week Ever meets South Park, wtf? Do people seriously think think that they can make something that teenage girls think is cool? It is seriously lame to create a pop culture site and tell everyone its so cool.

And that ‘interactive’ response is about as good as a fortune cookie. Deadpool over under is 6 months.
