I just thought of a great idea! (btw Hi Mark Prince)As the numerous readers of my site (2.5 of them, the .5 is my dog)know, I have tried many times to encourage people to visit and comment in my forums. I have actually tried several devious schemes. Well, I have thought of another one. I had an epiphany while I was reading an article on coffeegeek.com.
The article was entitled, "Defining the God Shot" written by Mark Prince. It is about the perfect Espresso shot and the term "God Shot" which he claims to have coined. The site is pretty cool actually but the people who write articles are coffee snobs and the elitism displayed in their articles borders on humorous.
Please don't think I am being hypocritical here, I can definitely get snobby about things myself. I mean, I am an artist, of course I get snobby.
Anyway, back to my epiphany.
I thought of a great idea to lure more people to my site and 'inspire' them to comment in my forums. I am going to e-mail people with insulting e-mails (only people who are begging for an insulting e-mail) ending the e-mail with a statement like
"my site http://www.chargedmultimedia.com/exanimo/ is far superior to your site" thereby goading the e-mail recipient into visiting and commenting. Brilliant no?
Oh come on Mark Prince don't tell me it didn't work!
I have just completed Marks E-mail. I called him a "God Snob" in it. It was actually pretty funny, well for me, not for him that is. Oh, but after a few "God Shots" he will get over it. If any of you readers out there think this is a stupid idea why don't you comment on it in my forum? Okay, okay, so that was also just a ploy to get you to comment. Anyway, I gotta go. Watch out for comments from pissed off e-mail recipients coming soon to my forums. Later.
