Smojoe’s Post Halloween Hodgepodge
Post by Robert Campbell on Nov 06, 2009
Halloween came and went and I have loot bag full of memories from Deb Lewis function at the Gardiner Museum.
Deb Lewis looked great and her party was a big success.
This is me with Farah Fawcett
At the Gardiner Museum.
Halloween is a healthy opportunity to wear a full body mask and truly be someone else. Three glasses of rye and I became The Gladiator for a spell.
On Halloween night the fourth photo contest on Lenzr ended. Ontario Tourist Attractions amassed over seventy five different submissions which accumulated almost 3000 votes.
It came as no surprise to me that Mommakoala’s image ‘No Pesky Neighbours Here‘ was the winner with 93 total votes and a registered rating of 8.7. This is a quirky image and unusual pictures seem to win Lenzr photo contests.
Sponsored by Kanetix.ca this car insurance quotes provider was thrilled with the success of the endevour and asked politely if they could renew the contest and sponsor the same event for another sixty days? I accepted and Ontario Tourist Attractions 2 was born.
On Monday I woke up to find an email message from the head of marketing at Mazoolo.com and we came to an understanding regarding the interactive photo challenge keyword landscape.
The keywords photo contest belong to Lenzr
The keywords photo game will link to Mazoolo.com
Check this place out – its the weirdest photo game I’ve ever seen and strangely compelling. I tried the free setting and have now invested $10 ( the minimum) via Paypal on my photos, which are better than average and so for this reason I think its a good investment. Let me explain, on this site the user’s photos are submitted to random challenges which they may win or lose by their own merit and according to other people’s votes. So its a bit like Lenzr except for the fragmentation and sheer randomness of the encounters and competitive activities. Anyway suffice to say I was intrigued immediately and wrote a passionate proposal to secure the business the next day.
On Tuesday I had a morning meeting with Faith Seekings of Rapport Communications and Design. I went to meet her with a copy of my Smojoe Social media Manual, hoping to persuade her to let me speak at her next gathering, but she sidelined me with an unexpected information share and theoretical discourse involving many and varied elements of B2B social media constructs.
Here’s Faith beside Dean Goldstone of Goldstone Studios at 64 George St in downtown Toronto, her downstairs neighbour. He’s a veteran interior decorator and runs a highly respected home staging company that services downtown Toronto townhouses and condominiums.
We’re meeting next week to work on the Rapport blog which I’m going to trick out in front of a live audience. This will be a smojoe blog makeover. Go there now to see the before and then go again late next week to see the after. Keep your eye on this portal and watch carefully – first I will add new Flickr and Twitter widgets, then MyBlogLog and finish with Facebook and the buttons of the social web blog indexes.
On Weds Darryl Cheung of Deezilla asked me to help his wife promote her cake baking business under the keywords Toronto wedding cakes for which she already ranks on page one but has adopted a defensive position in the shadow of some new corporate players in the local market. So of course I told Darryl to put her picture on the site and let her drive a WordPress blog with tips tricks and recipes and no corporation could ever displace that – especially if the recipes were her creations and other folks bookmarked them and linked to them in their cooking blogs etc.
Then Sir Richard Branson asked me to define what it is to be fearless...
Virgin Mobile has launched a clever campaign that hopes to instigate a new holiday Nov 19th all of Canada will celebrate and his
Richard is cool guy, He has sailed the Atlantic in an open boat I remember and has floated a helium balloon around the globe. So he’s probably one of the most fearless businessmen in the world, and as such he’s the perfect choice to be the judge of a video contest that asks Canadians to submit their most fearless video for consideration and a chance to win $5000
Virgin Mobile Canada has announced that Nov 19th is National Fearless Day.
Do something fearless and you could win $5000, plus a chance to meet Richard Branson ! Info and entry at National Fearless Day.
