Who Owns this Site?

Bill and Suzanne Brock aka Bill and Dr. Seuzz. Dr. Seuzz is indeed a real doctor….of marketing.  She graduated with honors in 2014; her dissertation explores how specific population segments use social media to make purchasing decisions.  Bill Brock has been a software developer for over 30 years.  He’s a self-labeled geek who enjoys more of the behind-the-scenes, while Dr. Seuzz enjoys being out front.  BaBlahBlah is their 3rd Internet business and 2nd social media venture (although BaBlahBlah is much more than a social media site). 

What is BaBlahBlah About?

At first, BaBlahBlah was simply about fun and no reasonable censorship.  Since this inception in late 2020, BaBlahBlah has grown into an extensive Connection Hub.  Bill and the team of 50 developers have cherry-picked the best features available on social media and Internet communications  to intertwine Groups, Events and Email capabilities.

Event planners, travel agencies, resorts and party people can now connect with their people via dedicated Group or Event chats and EMAIL. 

  • Group Owners and Party Planners can benefit from Get To Know Before You Go ™, an exclusive feature where members and guests can chat and get to know others before attending an event. 

    • Much more efficient use of time than live Meet ‘n’ Greets.  You get the groundwork done online before you actually meet.

    • Dedicated chats so you connect specifically with people going to that particular event, not just member of a Group.

  • Dedicated chats are not linear; you can respond to comments earlier in the threads and have the responses shown there. 

  • No incessant pings.

  • Emails can be generated from the website and sent to anyone who is a member of the Group or Event. 

    • Even if the event planner does not actually have someone’s email, as long as that person has joined that Event or Group here, they can receive emails.  (You can even upload email lists into your Group or Event.)

  • Direct message capabilities can also act as a check-in feature.

  • Private means private, block means block, period.

  • You can have Disappearing Photos in chats.

  • You can have unlimited Private Galleries.

  • Options for dedicated Weekly chats and Event chats.

Getting started

  • BaBlahBlah is about FUN first.  The best way to meet new friends is to JOIN GROUPS and post pertinent content.  Say hello, ask a question, share something funny.  BaBlahBlah embraces free speech IN THE RIGHT GROUPS. 
  • Raunchy Memes Group is VERY popular, and highly recommended. BaBlahBlah is not political, however these posts belong in Hot Topics and Current Events Group.
 

  • Get To Know Before You Go™ - Better than a Meet ‘n’ Greet as you get the groundwork done online before you meet in person. Hugely better than any group chat on other socials.

  • "100%” qualified potentials.

  • Ability to make money.

The best way to meet new people is to post in the Groups. Everyone can see everyone’s posts in the Groups. This is not necessarily the case for the Main Feed. Also, note the hierarchy from Main Feed to Groups and Group Chat down to Events.

See the graphic below for shortcuts for mobile and website to post to a Group.

More Tips, Features and Benefits of BaBlahBlah

How can I tag someone in a comment?

How can I download a video from other sites

We are DIFFERENT….

  • The ONLY people that can chat with you are those you are friends with. This MINIMIZES harassment from scammers and other undesirables.  This is why GROUPS are BIG.
    • If you in a Group with someone and you block them, you will not see any more of their messages and vice versa.
  • One-on-One VIDEO CHATS are available only if you are friends with someone.
  • Groups are BIG and here are reasons why:
    • Once you join a Group, you will see posts from that Group in your feed. If you are NOT a member of a Group, you will NOT see those posts in your feed.
    • If you are not friends with someone, they can only chat to you in Groups where you both are members AND ONLY IN THAT GROUP CHAT. They cannot chat you one-on-one.
    • GROUP CHAT notifications default to your being notified on screen only. The way you don’t get pinged to death...unless you want to. You can change this setting if you want audio alerts.

Better than Facebook:

  • On Facebook, if you click on a picture in a Group chat, as soon as the chat closes, it goes back to the most recent posts. Annoying! With BaBlahBlah, you stay where you are.
  • Animated gifs in the chat for BaBlahBlah STAY animated when you click on them.
  • BaBlahBlah is woman-owned; we are protective of our female members.
  • Verified members are those vetted by Dr. Seuzz and/or Bill Brock.
  • Block means block. If you block someone, they cannot see your pots or chat you....and vice versa. Poof, it’s done and gone.

Other Good Stuff to Know 

  • We allow free speech and do not censor per se, however this does not give a green light to be a massive jerk.
  • BaBlahBlah has mobile apps AND a website, BaBlahBlah.com
