SeaWaves Blog

SeaWaves was instrumental in developing a new social news site called Glamorati. Our concept with Glamorati was to develop a brand that simultaneously represented the average person’s A) love of celebrity culture and B) hatred of celebrity culture. In other words, “the Glamorati” stands for “common people who enjoy tracking the lives of celebrities, but enjoy mocking them too.”

As a social news site, Glamorati allows users to register and submit snarky (hopefully better than the original) headlines with links to their favorite stories. What sets Glamorati apart from the masses of social media sites on the internet is the emphasis on snarky celebrity headlines and the fact that user submissions are all vetted by editors, with the hopes of maintaining a high level of quality.

In addition to the main page, Glamorati is complimented by a celebrity news blog called News from the Glamorati.

SeaWaves is partnering with several high profile individuals online to test out the Advertising and Marketing niche in it’s latest project called AdSavvy. The basic idea behind AdSavvy is to analyze print and tv commercial ads and help identify the keys to creating ads that work.

The hope with AdSavvy is to create a smart but interesting center of advertising and marketing philosophy and to leverage this into high-profile consulting opportunities.

SeaWaves has launched a group microblog called Thrive which covers news in popular culture. As the web moves increasingly towards headline oriented information, microblogging is where everything is happening these days. Just check out Twitter.

Does your business want a Twitter presence? Or do you want to set up your own private microblog for brainstorming? SeaWaves can help. Contact us today.

SeaWaves Technology is pleased to announce the launch of eight great new blogs. We hope you get the chance to enjoy the unique and rich articles that are featured at each site.

SeaWaves Technology is pleased to announce the launch of its latest blog, The NFL Guru. Written by football expert Brian Ethridge, the blog covers everything from fantasy football sleepers, to NFL news and even the latest on football video games like Madden and 2K8.

The NFL is clearly America’s sport, and as such, we just couldn’t resist getting into the game and taking a stab at producing a quality blog for this massive niche. Brian is a great writer, clearly knows his stuff, and will certainly turn the blog into a great resource for NFL football fans across the world.

At the end of the summer, we plan to launch a new network of sites themed around the concept of “thriving at life” - two of those sites just launched today.

One Big Health Nut is a fitness and health blog that focuses on practical tips for eating better and keeping in shape. Written in a conversational language, the blog aims to provide readers with the tools they need to eat well, exercise and make healthy living a lifestyle.

Puzzling Thoughts is a carefully crafted blog name that highlights the fact that this blog is about challenging math and logic puzzles. Want to improve your brain age? Want to stretch your mind? Check out these thought provoking puzzles and your bound to have a good time.

SeaWaves, in conjunction with Thord Hedengren, have completed a bright, vivid and colorful design for Valarie’s Place, a unique restaurant in the heart of Sea Isle City, NJ.

Valarie’s is one of the mainstay restaurants that fuels us here at SeaWaves so we were especially glad to design the website. Our greatest hope in starting this project was to capture the friendly and energetic personality of the restaurant’s owner, Valarie. We think we got it just right. Take a look and we think you’ll like what you see.

After three hard months of development, we are pleased to be able to announce the BETA launch of the new Eatonweb Blog Directory. The project was a lot of fun, especially working with maestro designer Mr. Thord Hedengren.

Eatonweb is the oldest blog directory on the planet. Yep. It was the first one. So the honor of working on a sight with such prestige was a bit daunting.

And after much sweat and blood, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved. It was our biggest development project yet, and while there’s still some tweaking to do, we’re happy with the result.

The idea behind the directory’s “resurrection” was to make a blog directory that matters. There are thousands of directories out there. We wanted to do something different.

We came up with the idea of creating a proprietary blog metric that measures 2 primary aspects of each blog in the directory. First, we measure the perceived influence and strength of each blog . Then, we track the strength over time and we call it a momentum metric.

Why does this matter? Well, for one, it allows blog owners to track the growth or decline of their own blogs. But it also offers blog buyers/sellers a concrete way to evaluate the health of a blog. Further, it allows us to list the most “healthy” blogs first - in other words, it rewards strong, growing sites.

So we’ve set out to create a blog directory that matters, and again, we’re still tweaking the system, but overall, we’re very happy with what we’ve produced!

Creating things is one of the greatest joys in life!

The massive success of our online property PopCrunch has resulted in an expansion of the brand into three new sites. We’ve included description of the three new sites that fall under the PopCrunch brand below:

We can’t overstate the fact that we love enabling experts to share their knowledge online. We are happy to announce the launch of the pain management site called “How To Cope With Pain.”

How To Cope With Pain is written bya Board Certified Psychiatrist whose been in practice for over 15 years. She works primarily with patients in chronic pain and also does academic research on the topic. The site aims to share some of her knowledge with those who are living through pain.

One great thing about the site is that the author is not only an expert but also has faced thechallenge of chronic pain first-hand. She uses her experience of what it’s like to live with chronic pain in her work as a pain management physician.
