Thanks to the hook-up from our Philly connection Annie Heckenberger, BlogOrlando has a new sponsor, Ideablob.

What is Ideablob?

Ideablob.com is an online community where people discover and share ideas. You’ll find business owners, entrepreneurs, inventors, philanthropists, nonprofits, free-thinkers and problem-solvers hanging around the community. They post, comment, advise, critique, and compare ideas. Every month, they decide through voting which idea is worthy of $10,000 in seed money. More importantly, they connect with each other. These blobbers (as we like to call them) value collaboration and teamwork. Ideablob provides the tools and resources for this culture and philosophy to flourish. At ideablob, we simply believe that every idea submitted could evolve into “next big thing.”

Ideablob was launched in September 2007, and has quickly emerged as a vibrant community of smart, interesting, and innovative users. With over 70,000 registered users, ideablob has become the preferred resource for small business owners, entrepreneurs, inventors, and people with world changing ideas.

Ideablob.com was started by Advanta Corp., one of the nation’s largest issuers of credit cards to small businesses.

Thanks to Ideablob, we have a nice sponsor for our BlogOrlando after-party on Saturday night.
