Taptu

One Friday last April, Jason Harris came to Beer and Blog to demo Taptu’s “super-fast entertainment search engine for your mobile” to a nice crowd of app geeks wanting to see it in action. This Friday Jason is back to conduct a focus group at the Green Dragon (check to see if you qualify to participate) and to buy us beer.

Yes! FREE BEER!

This time around Jason is also bringing some stickers, a few little cuddly teddy bears, and a Taptu cohort Chris Moisan, VP pf Market and Product Development, who is visiting from London. Jason wrote a nice post about Taptu sponsoring Beer and Blog Portland on the corporate blog. If you come and partake in the complimentary beer, be sure to thank Jason and Chris for their generosity!

I hope to see you from 4-6pm this Friday at the Green Dragon, and remember to come closer to 4pm to take advantage of the free beer.
