    Although the LonelyGirl15 site is temporarily down, I highly doubt that the LonelyGirl15 saga is over...

    Hey, I had never seen lonelygirl15 before, but I just watched poorpluto and this is really the coolest thing I've seen on youtube so far - besides soul sacrifice live from woodstock :)

    It's a good example of how social network marketing should be done, not spamming bulletins to hundreds of thousands of indiscriminate users.

    I am burned out on stupid social networks social networking web 2.0 and all that nonsense. I wish it would end but I am not counting on it to anytime soon because there is no slowdown in momentum and any slowdown that may prresent itself may be temporary. I like oldschool internet. Oldschool websites with oldschool navigation and links and such. No tags and bloggers and wikkiiis and trackbacks and podcasts and social sharing and that stuff.

    I'm afraid it's the way the internet is heading, we're going to see a greater emphasis on social networking, interactivity and community in the future.

    What about Bowiechick???

    She is real and hit big because of the camera affects that caught everyones attention.

    She introduced me to youtube, well actually my dad did, telling me that my sister was going to be on the news - yes she is my baby sister.

    Looks like someone finally tracked down the real LonelyGirl15 through MySpace:

    http://www.siliconvalleywatcher.com/mt/archives/2006/09/the_identity_of.php

    [​IMG]

    Apparently, LonelyGirl15's real name is Jessica Rose and her cached MySpace profile is jeessss426

    [​IMG]

    It's amazing to watch the publicity LonelyGirl15 is still generating (ironically, I realize I am contributing to this publicity ;) )

    I think LonelyGirl15 needs to take a trip to Africa for a while ... see what REAL problems are.

    That's what I am really curious about, whether or not the extreme popularity of LonelyGirl15 will cause any viral marketing through LonelyGirl15 to be useless.

    Yes, that is interesting. And it is also interesting what their next move is. What about the new site they will put up? Success or total failure ?

    Her latest video after the outing has 312911 views so far since about 48 hours. They should do something fast to take advantage of the traffic.

    My article on it http://www.jimwestergren.com/lonelygirl15/

    The problem with the traffic is that it is mostly from teens without creditcards who are interested just in viewing instead of clicking and buying.

    Well , she has her own WIKI spot now

    ------>>>>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonelygirl15

    Theres a good book I just read about this type of marketing,

    Its by Seth Goodin....

    All marketers are liars,

    Its all about story telling

    Anyone remember the " free toy inside " the ceral boxes in the 80's

    Didnt matter what the ceral tasted like it was what was in the box

    Same thing with granola bars, they are actually bad for you, but the marketers, made them look heathly for you

    I think was a great ploy!
