This has been a product I have been watching quite carefully, and I look forward to purchasing it in a few weeks.

Hey Ben,

I need to remove all the offers for Cruise Bar from your site.
They are areally old, and we've had a few enquiries, and didn't know where they got the info from till we tracked down your site.

We have new nightly events running and I'd love to get them up on your site instead.
Please see our website www.cruisebar.com.au/whats_on to see the nightly events.
Thanks

I'm glad you get it too. Character development is such a rich area for building interest in a story, especially online - where intrigue can be rewarded so readily. I'm looking forward to exploring the opportunities.

for sure, the only thing is I wonder who's actually managed to get this through to the producers, marketers - its an extremely smart social marketing campaign.

This is the first example I've seen of such a deep and real experience around a TV series - seemingly with the actor/character themselves. Even Lost with its complex ARG was something that could be released at scheduled points.

The value is evident but the hours involved in maintaining this type of engagement is significant. Love to know more.

Great post Ben. It's great that the producers recognise the intangible (and exponential) value of this 'social footprint' beyond the raw numbers.

your right about the back story, that's why this stuff works so well for TV, movies etc because there's this make believe world behind the make believe that people want to be real.

Looking forward to Obama winning. Of course winning is only the start. He's got a lot of work to do, but it certainly seems that he's the right man for the job.

Apparently iTunes hasn't released numbers yet, but the plays and uptake on MySpace was really encouraging... I'll chase Andrew and see if he knows anymore.

Re: Download this song (we need 20,000 to make it a record)

benhamin — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 04:01:27 -0000

nah... its just a friend with a song on iTunes. :)

In fact he's one of the designers at Host. Very talented chap. So was keen to help spread the word and get everyone to listen to his music. Plus aim for a record, the average 'song of the week' download is in the region of 12,000 so it'd be good to smash it.

The main work I'm doing right now is installing phone lines and internet - its ironic really. Thanks for the comment though.

Re: Radiohead Nude remix results

tim — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:45:24 -0000

great news and funny this info spread in all agencies immediately. I find remarkable that even though no band has a stronger geek following than Radiohead , the amount of creative uploads itself wasn't overwhelming.
If you look at the relationship between UV and remix uploads you end up with a ratio 0.036 %. Obviously everyone enjoys listening and voting significantly more. Maybe punters were scared of sounding like a dumbass in comparison the ueber-band?

It's either someone made an alternated version of lyrics to the song "If tomorrow never comes" or someone has decided to delete their profile off Facebook?
