I usually listen to aim’s music player while at work and tonight I tried to load but it wouldn’t so I did a search for “internet radio” and found Pandora Radio which I’ve used before. It’s great and I’ve been listing for over an hour and haven’t heard a comercial yet! Wow I love it! You can customize your own channel and vote on songs as you listen.. thanks pandora!!

my blogs been hacked…

I just got an email for a blog I run that said the user/pass had been changed. This alarmed me so I went to login and sure enough I was not able to login. A few minutes later my entire blog was down and a youtube video was up with a bald guy was being displayed. Here it is below. I’m not sure what he’s saying but it’s creepy! I have one of my developers working on getting our blog back up. The site had a page rank of 4 and was 9 years old so it’s a valuable web property. I hope to get it back soon. Wow! I haven’t had a site hacked in some time. The source code on the home page of my domain that was hacked had some front page code in there so my developer thinks it might have been an exploit through Front Page. Oh how I love the folks at Microsoft and how their software is so vulnerable!!!

Sexy Viral Video!

Wow! Just watched this sexy viral video. Great job Durex. For those of you unfamiliar with Durex, they make condoms. I don’t think I’d like my kids seeing this video. Once again we learn that sex sells. I found this video on the following blog which provides daily videos from around the web. The site is run by Sami Salmenkivi (Dagmar Digital), Sami Viitamäki (TeliaSonera), and Riku Vassinen (MySpace). I just found them through my WordPress dashboard as one of the up and coming blogs. I plan to check out their blog for these great video picks. Thanks Annos!

Just came across this blog by Google witih a special offer for free Gmail stickers. I’m going to send away for some. The Gmail team is going old school and requesting that you send a self-addressed stamped evenvelope with postage to return the stickers. Come on Google! Your rich. You could afford to cover the postage along with the free stickers since it’s furthing your branding message. Oh well. I’m excited to get some Gmail Stickers!!

Examples of great viral web videos

randomthoughts123 — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:55:12 +0000

Just stumbled across these videos and thought I’d post the link below on these great viral videos. POM is currently showing 7 on their site and also had a video contest. If you search youtube for “POM tea” you’ll find a bunch of these videos. What a great idea! They’re getting all this free exposure on YouTube along with some great comericials. The video that loads initially on the official POM site is my favorite. It’s very creative, witty, simple, and hillarious. Great work POM! Very inspirational.

Check out the POM Video Gallery.

Gift enclosed idea for direct mail

randomthoughts123 — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:58:53 +0000

I just received a survey in the mail from Wells Fargo in regards to their ATMs. The survey is being conducted by Q & A Research, Inc. The envelope had “gift enclosed” on it so I opened it immediately and to my surprise I found a one dollar bill along with a quick survey. I felt compelled to fill it out for the buck. Great idea! Now a buck these days doesn’t go far but the idea behind this is great. I’m sure if the survey was more extensive I might not of taken the time to fill this out. Maybe if it was 5 pages they’d include a $5 or a $20. But the idea behind the “Gift Enclosed” and the 1 dollar bill was a great way to get me to fill out this survey and send it in. Sometimes you have to pay people to get them to take action. The information Wells Fargo gets back from these surveys will be well worth the dollar spent.

iphone saved the day!

randomthoughts123 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 07:33:46 +0000

Well my iphone came in handy tonight and saved the day (actually night)! I was driving with my friend tonight in the rain and ran over something in the carpool lane that caused his tire to go flat. Luckily we were able to get over in time and off the freeway. We pulled over and attempted to jack up the car but couldn’t find the right position to jack up the car successfully. At this point we were getting frustrated and then my friend asks me to search for his car model and how to jack it up. Well within 20 to 30 seconds we found our answer and positioned the jack in the proper position and were able to get it up and replace the tire. Way to go iphone! I still might trade you in though since you tend to drop my calls on a regular basis and you have no flash!
