Who are we?

NextThreeDays.com is owned and operated by our parent company Automation Creations, Inc. We’re just a group of web developers and designers who wanted some help in finding where to go and what to do and decided to create and develop NextThreeDays.com for the betterment of mankind.

When did Next Three Days start?

Well, we’ve been kicking around this idea for a number of years. We started developing the idea in 2008 and it really started to come together in 2009.

Where are we?

We are located in Blacksburg, Virginia in the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center.

Why?

Ever find yourself sitting at home, staring aimlessly at your television wanting to leave your home and do something, but having no idea what is going on outside your house? Us too. We wanted to create a web resource that will help you find where to go and what to do every day.

Have you tired of ramen noodles and PBJ sandwiches for every meal? We have too. That’s another reason why we created NextThreeDays.com. Just open up the website and see what restaurants are running specials when you’re hungry. Not only will your taste buds thank you, it won’t hit you in the wallet quite as hard either.

How?

We had an idea, approached Henry Bass, the president and owner of ACI. He liked the idea and agreed the company should pursue and develop it. As far as technologies go, we’re using SQL Server, ColdFusion, Flash Remoting, Web Services, Javascript and of course Flash.

Future Aspirations?

Sure we would like to further develop our idea and have a version for each of the surrounding communities because we think our application would be a tremendous resource in any city or town. However, right now we are concentrating on getting our initial version up and running for Blacksburg and the New River Valley. We are always open to ideas so let us know if you have them.
