Marketing that will start a conversation!
Hi, I’m Janis. I’m not JUST Jordan’s younger sister.
I figure I've been too quiet for too long. It's time to introduce myself. I'm Janis. Nice to meet you. You'll be hearing a lot more from me here at Tell Ten Friends in the next little while. I've been busy lately. I've been interning at AdHack, a BootUpLabs company, which shares an office floor with Strutta, who Jordan works for. Secondly, I have been collaborating on a few Tell Ten Friends proje...

Dusting Off the Runners for Cancer
My sister was the one that issued the challenge. After announcing on Twitter that she and my mom had signed up for the Sun Run, the trash talk began. It didn’t take long for my brother and I to respond to the taunting, and then I upped the stakes. So presently, four members of my immediate family are prepping to run the Sun Run on May 3rd. And since I am confident that I will cross the line a...
Help Build a Web Ad Case Study
My friends from Adhack.com have just launched a new campaign called “Show us Your Balls.” The campaign is meant to draw attention to their “People Powered Ads” services for ad creators and ad buyers, ad what better way to do that than with a campaign of their own. The best part is, they’re letting everyone get involved. Here is a more detailed description of the promotion, includi...
Platform Cage Match: Tumblr vs. Soup vs. OnSugar vs. Storytlr
We’re taking a closer at several personal “life stream” platforms, in a effort to discover which offers the best options and features, based on my own set of criteria. I explained the problem that spawned this little experiment in a previous post on my personal blog, but I’ll sum it up again here briefly. As an online marketer, photographer, “micro-blogger,” and multi-media hobbyist...
What Does Beta Mean?
Please Note: This item is cross-posted from the Strutta blog (my day job). I felt that it was relevant enough to post here as well, as it documents some of the process of launching and marketing a software product, from my perspective. Last night we received a question from a Strutta user via the contact form. He asked, "When are we going to be not beta? Why is there beta anyway?" As soon as...

Rob Crashes, I'm in the Paper.

Posted By: Jordan Behan on October 19, 2006 in Random - Comments: 3 Comments »

Just a quick “what’s up” post, as I am still buried under a large amount of copywriting work. The rest of my web copy series is still jostling around in my skull, so stay tuned.

In the meantime, a bit of Tell Ten Friends news. Rob, who you likely know by now is our graphic designer, coder, and photographer, is having a busy week. His site crashed earlier this week, and as he says in a post today, it was a result of a spike in traffic from Netvibes after they discovered his great step-by-step Netvibes tutorial. It sucks when a site crashes from traffic, but there are bragging rights involved too, I suppose.

Also, earlier this week he pointed me to the new Sony Bravia ad, a great follow-up to the “bouncy balls” ad from earlier this year. These guys have got one thing figured out; that the process of making these ads is just as exciting as the ads themselves, and therefore they have a much better chance of going viral (anybody else starting to choke on that word?) getting passed around on the in-ter-nets. The first thing you ask when you see the new ad is “What about the cleanup?” Well, they’re smart enough to answer that question for you. Follow the links through Rob’s post and watch it for yourself. It’s worth two minutes of your day. -Unless you’re on dial-up :(

Lastly, today I was featured in a short article in the Lifestyles section of the Vancouver Province (a very large daily here in town) and although they didn’t run my web address (Aaaargh!) they do have a very large of photo of my goofy grin, and few quips from me about “why I like Fall.”

Not sure how long the link will last, but here you go.
