So You Say

I like this word of mouth advertising; this Pass-It-On recommending. BubbleGum wrote a blog about giving up his “fourth spot” on MySoCalledSpace. What he meant was, “tell me the name of some unsigned band that I could showcase on my page.” The cool(er) thing is that once a band is chosen and is on his Space, that group stays there for a month. Not only that but a blog is written about them. Talk about advertising, recommending, and all that jazz! BubbleGum’s site gets hundreds and hundreds of hits a day and because HE said so, people are going to check out his January pick for unsigned music. Over a hundred people had commented on the blog. That’s over a hundred more people checking out this band’s sound. Brilliant. I say take advantage of It Boy’s status and popularity and send him the name of your favorite unsigned band or performer! Just in case you were wondering, I want to send him Rebecca’s name. She could use another hundred people checking out her sound. Seriously.

I found another Pass-It-On link on someone else’s blog. I’m a sucker for the friend of a friend recommendation. I looked and I looked. Everything was beautiful and IwantIwant worthy. I ooohed and ahhhed and occasionally said, “well, my birthday is coming up…” But, in the end I couldn’t make my brain follow my heart so I didn’t open my wallet.

But, keep those recommendations coming. I definitely like the “I know someone you could talk to” feel of life. I like the handshake of communication. The wedding was like that, too – if I didn’t know them before the shindig, I didn’t want them cooking, singing, officiating, baking, arranging flowers, anything. The tent guy was the only I didn’t know and he came recommended by my sister. That word of mouth, this-guy-is-good thing again.
