Okay loyal readers, friends, family, bloggers and Google searchers, Zigtag needs your help!

You’ve been reading this blog for months an not even clicked on an ad. Well I have something even better for you to click on!

Zigtag auditioned for a TV show last week called the Dragons Den. The CBC Canada show is based on the BBC version by the same name (and kicks ASS on the US edition American Inventor). In the show companies present a 10 minute pitch to the Dragons (5 angel/venture investors) and then negotiate live with the Dragons for their investment. Compress the entire process of pitching and negotiating into a single show – that’s my idea of efficient investing.

Let’s show them the power of the blogosphere. I need you to go vote and ideally spread the word to your friends, family and fellow blog readers. I need massive grassroots campaign to let the TV show producers know that cool Canadian software companies need a shot.

I’m sure there will be tons of cool widgets on the show, but getting a software company on TV won’t be quite as easy. Software isn’t nearly as visual as the latest solar beer chiller that keeps your beer cold in the sun (no that’s not on the show but you can steal the idea if you want to).

With enough votes and comments from people expressing they need a better way to search, save and share information, they won’t be able to deny me.

So go vote if you’re really excited about Zigtag, feel free to add some comments in the post expressing why the you need what Zigtag is offering.

As a bonus for your clickage, this is the first public information (other than our new 30 second ad.) on what Zigtag is up to. Go get a sneak peek into what Zigtag is going to be all about.

Another announcement I’ve been meaning to make is I’ve taken the leap and am now focusing full time on Zigtag as of July 1st. Prior to that I was working part time for the last company I created. Giving up a nice income stream is a small price to pay for the ability to put 100% focus on Zigtag.

We’re in the process of arranging a small angel round of financing (of which we’ve had our first piece close already. YAY!). The Dragon’s Den opportunity is not only a source of investment, but also an opportunity to get national TV exposure for Zigtag and it looks like it would be a ton of fun!

As a further update, Zigtag is currently in early alpha and in use by a select handful of adventurous users. We’ve got a few months of development remaining to get the right feature set in place that makes it easy for users to search, save and share their information. If you haven’t yet signed up to be one of the first users, please goto Zigtag and sign up now.

Now go vote YES!. It’s your blogospheric duty!
