We are getting a plug for our website on Twit

[brad]

Twit = This Week in Tech .. it is without a doubt the most popular podcast out there by far. One of the hosts of the show (John C. Dvorak) was looking for an Appalachian State Sweatshirt and I was able to send him one. He said he would plug our website on his blog and on the show as long as it wasn't porn :)

We will have to wait and see .. but it looks like a good chance to get a really good plug for our website and for Alizée. It will probably be even bigger than our experience with digg recently.

You can check out their website here: http://twit.tv and John's blog at http://dvorak.org/blog

I will keep everyone updated :)

update: here is a link to our plug (http://moi-alizee.us/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=235&d=1168830215)

[brad]

Well .. he has already emailed me back saying that we would get out plugs (that was fast) :)

thanks John!

[bt_bird_90]

Cool, any advice on how to catch it?

[brad]

i will post the link to the show when it comes out .. probably next monday if he gets the sweatshirt in time

it will be on the main page here http://twit.tv

it is a really good show anyway .. i listen to it every week.

[Ben]

Wow, I remember John C. Dvorak's video game reviews on the Cnet Central TV show with Richard Hart back in like... the dark ages. Full Throttle FTW! :)

BTW, make sure he knows how to pronounce Alizée! ;)

[brad]

he said i should work on promoting Emma Shapplin too .. lol

[brad]

I included how to pronounce it in one of the emails :)

I can't wait to hear what Leo has to say about Lili .. lol. They record the shows on Sundays, so I hope it gets to him sometime this week before then. It was sent 3 day UPS so it should get there in time.

I don't really understand the purpose of Twit. Anyone mind dumbing it down for me?

[Seapaddler]

She needs exposure, well done.

[HibyPrime]

Leo Laporte hosts it? Sweet.

I used to watch The Screen Savers on Tech TV (he was one of the hosts) all the time, but then we got rid of the digital cable :/

That was a awesome show but they all left the show:(. Tech tv turn to g4 which is almost all about video games:(
(awesome brad:) )

There used to be a TV channel in the USA and Canada several years ago called 'Tech TV' .. They covered everything technology (computers, gadgets, games, etc). When they closed the station down a lot of the people involved started doing their own thing.

This week in Tech is one of those projects. They basically just discuss this weeks technology news, (digg.com was founded by a former Tech TV employee also).

I listen to all of these podcasts / shows and etc at work everyday .. it helps the day go by. Like I said, Twit is easily the most popular podcast out there by quite a bit. A ton of people (hundreds of thousands) will be listening.

[brad]

More like they all got fired .. lol

G4 didn't think the Tech content was interesting enough to their demographics.

[bt_bird_90]

G4 has grown away from technology and video games entirely, they have carp shows now.

[TurinSZ]

More like they all got fired .. lol

G4 didn't think the Tech content was interesting enough to their demographics.

yeah your right brad they pretty much got fired lol

[Spartan500]

The only show i watch/like on G4 is attack of the show

This is pretty cool news. Still there's always this nagging part of me that, despite how much I want Alizee to be a massive success all around the world, wants to keep Alizee "our little secret" here in the US. I don't maybe I just don't trust the American public and media to give Alizee the respect she deserves given how much it feeds off of sensationalism. Plus being a fan trying to get noticed above all of her worldwide fans is already hard enough; one of the few things I have going for me is being a fan from a country that largely doesn't know her. Having to shout over a throng of American fans too will surely drown me out.

Seriously though, cool news. :cool:

[Azereus]

Sounds really cool Brad!

[nurvonic]

awesome job brad. you come up with the best ideas to promote Alizee :)

[SupaKrupa]

Three cheers for Brad! Great stuff.

That's actually what the Screen Savers turned into after the layoffs and format change.

[brad]

here is the old screensavers, before it became attack of the show. kevin (the guy on the left) is the one who made digg. the other guy is the main host of this week in tech. (it is several years old now)

I tried to get into their UT2003 lan party a few times, no luck :(

The specs of that computer are terrible.. Hearing them talk about it sounds odd lol

[rwd716]

i will post the link to the show when it comes out .. probably next monday if he gets the sweatshirt in time

it will be on the main page here http://twit.tv

Did they ever give us a plug?

[brad]

it will probably be this sunday, it was the holidays so they haven't recorded a new show in a couple weeks. the last weeks show he did mention that someone was sending him a shirt and he was going to give them a plug (that would be us) ..

so i am hoping next sunday / monday

[rcs]

We're goin' mainstream Brad! We're gettin' big...:D

[bt_bird_90]

[brad]

damn u neoteny!!!!!!

lmao

[nurvonic]

lol, this shit reminds me of Yoda

"Mainstream we are going. Getting big we are, brad :D"

[Gatchaman]

That's huge news Brad! Twit has thousands of listeners! Great job man!

[admin]

i cut out the part where he said he would mention us and attached it here. hopefully he will do it next week.

[brad]

damnit, i was logged in as admin

[CFHollister]

Ah, I was wondering who "admin" was. I was always curious if that was you brad or somebody trying to impersonate you.

[DJ_Greg]

Topaz is admin. :D

[Edcognito]

Man - i've just e-mailed myself the link to home (at work now) - can't WAIT to see what the rest of the Country thinks of Alizee'.

Although i agree with the previous post - its kinda nice being a fan of someone the rest of the country doesn't know about - so that they can't SCREW it up. Nope, don't trust the american entertainment media at ALL!

[jaco]

That is freaking awesome. I listen to TWiT all the time. It's the most popular tech podcast in iTunes and the second most popular podcast on digg (http://digg.com/podcasts).

[jaco]

Just listened to the latest twit, no mention of the site :(

[brad]

hell no :mad:

i think i might have wasted 40 bucks on that damn sweatshirt ... he was emailing me all the time, then he just stopped. bastard ........

you never know though, maybe he will do it eventually.

[justchil]

u got served :(

[Gatchaman]

hell no :mad:

Email him back Brad. The dude is older than the computer, and needs constant reminding.

[brad]

i've emailed him a couple of times, and no response. he may be waiting until after all of the macworld stuff, or maybe waiting until he receives other stuff from the other people that sent him a shirt???

i will email him again, maybe i should remind him that I have his address? lol

[bt_bird_90]

I listened through all of last week's show for our plug too, if we do get one this week that'd be great, they have like 3 huge tech shows between now and then and it should be one of their more important shows of the year.

[brad]

well we finally got our plug. it wasn't very long, and he didn't spell the name out so I doubt many people will be able to find us, but it is better than nothing I guess .. :(

i cut out the part of interest, and attached it here. so if you just want to hear the plug check out the attachment. if you want to listen to the whole podcast, he mentions us at around the 42 minute mark (http://www.twit.tv/84)

[DJ_Greg]

I had no idea that alizeeusa.com redirected here.

[bt_bird_90]

That was awsome brad, great job!

[JCC]

Wow, not much of a plug there..but nonetheless, it was something. Sounded more like and afterthought..and was more interested in getting a free shirt(?):confused:

[justchil]

Yeah that's why he did it.. free clothes lol.

I don't see any increase in traffic or anything but at least he did say something :eek:

[jaco]

hehe that was pretty cool..

[Ben]

Anyone find it pretty funny, actually? He pimped you (us?) for cloths, Brad. Lol. Still, nice anyway. :)
