operation digg (v.2)

[Ben]

Ok, done:
http://www.alizeealliance.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=7609

Thanks again!

[brad]

thanks aFrenchie, Twitch, garconcanadien, Snatcher, and everyone else :)

[Twitch]

Thanks Snatcher, I wonder if we should make "moi-alizee.us" in that post a link to the front page here, or should we just let them find their way here from digg? And just a thought, garçoncanadien in a PM to me of his corrections of my translation brought up a point that although the majority of people here are American, some non American fans helped out with the digg accomplishment.
EDIT: If your curious his corrections are here, to bad I didn't log on earlier.
Salut à tous, j'ai voulu vous faire connaître de quelque chose que nous avons accompli [je suis d'accord avec ta correction]avec l'aide d'un nouveau site-web/forum anglais, moi-alizee.us : Une performance de « J'en ai marre » est maintenant l'une des histoires supérieures sur digg.com - un des sites-webs le plus visité du monde !

Le but de digg.com est de faire de la pub et s'il y a assez de « diggs » - une phrase argot pour « j'aime cette chose » - on aura des chances d'apparaître sur la page d'accueil, là où tout le monde peut voir la petite publicité qu'on a lancée.

Après moins de 6 heures sur le site, la vidéo d'Alizée a atteint la première page. Maintenant, quelques jours après, elle a bien plus de 500 votes et elle est toujours parmi les sélections supérieures dans la catégorie « music videos » . Pour cette raison, de milliers de personnes en Amérique du Nord ont vu notre Lili, et durant les prochains jours beaucoup plus de personnes auront la chance !

C'est un grand accomplissement pour les fans américains [quoi? nous sommes canadiens ;) je pense qu'il vaut mieux que vous disiez américains et canadiens ou quelque chose comme ça], et nous sommes très fiers. Il augmentera son exposition ici, et créera si tout va bien beaucoup de nouveaux fans. Vous pouvez voir le « digg » à : http://digg.com/videos_music/Beautif..._J_en_Ai_Marre

Edited the post so that all the urls work as links. As to the other point, would there be some good way to say "English speaking fans" in the first sentence of the last paragraph instead?

[Twitch]

Maybe something like "les membres d'Alizée America" or "les fans d'Alizée America" but I don't know what would sound the best to a native French speaker. But then we don't acknowledge the help you got us from AF.

[Ben]

Well, it wasn't just this forum either. ;) [Edit: right, heh heh]
I dunno, you'll never be able to include everyone...

[Twitch]

Like I said to garçoncandien most members here are American so it's probably fine, and he was probably just making a friendly joke about it in his corrections because we are both Canadian.

"fans anglophones"

Nice, though I still say the next one we put a lot of force behind should be CTT En Concert.

[nurvonic]

*agrees with snatcher*

[bt_bird_90]

I think a poll is in order, but for the record my vote goes for the Amélie m'a dit concert compilation.

[rwd716]

I dugg, and yes, I vote for a poll.

[Spartan500]

Yeah we should have a poll

[bt_bird_90]

I'm not sure how much control there is to modify a poll once it starts, how about a nominations thread first, then a poll?

[rwd716]

Even better!

[Spartan500]

yeah that would be good or else the poll would have videos no one would choose as there first choices

[jaco]

New digg (please digg!!!) :

BTW, digg just had an overhaul it's much better now!

[brad]

dugg it :)

and yes .. digg looks better than ever :D

[jaco]

Cool, thanks brad...

There's a new podcasting section now too.... so if the Alizée podcast ever gets off the ground we can spam digg there too :)

[bt_bird_90]

I digg'd, but why the digg? Not to sound mean, but I don't think we want to over-saturate digg with small Alizée videos every week, people will get annoyed.

Well, I think there are probably a few hundred thousand people who use digg, so if we promote lili once in a while they won't mind... Besides, since digg is such an open system, if they don't like it they can let us know by not digging the stories or by leaving mean comments...

[DJ_Greg]

Dugg. I should probably be digging other articles (beyond these Alizée ones) to make my votes count, though...

[jaco]

This thread is the first result on Google for "operation digg (http://www.google.com/search?q=operation+digg&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a)". Maybe we should go for a trademark?

[Luc]

A little late but I dugg it ;)

[bt_bird_90]

Here's something I got linked to, no idea what it is, but I figure it should have Alizée as number one, you have to sign up or something though.
