Special thanks to Tino Buntic for coming up with the instantly viral 2000 Bloggers concept. No doubt this innovative idea will be duplicated quite a few million times. Yes, Tino added me, but I can see I got beaten out speed-wise by Guy Kawasaki, Seth Godin and Donald Trump to name a few. I am, however, on the same row with John Smulo. Or was…the page keeps repaginating. Hi John. And to the many other blogging friends I see (Billy Calderwood, HT for the tip!)
Oh yes, there will be copycat concepts, but Tino you were the first. We salute your creativity. Hope you didn't loose your day job having a good time. (Oh, looks like connecting people is your day job!) Way to be the first to use the new media in a new way.
Now, who's gonna take this and run with it? I hear we're already a screen saver and a book cover. I'm anticipating the 2000 Bloggers Awards. Best overall photo, most creative, most mysterious, most artistic, oldest, youngest, need I say more? My personal favorite is "Peggy, As She Is" but can you find her?
If you've made it into this group, is your goal to visit all 1999 of your co-bloggers? So who's gonna put up the awards site? What a link-fest. Personally, I'm busy looking for a better photo.
I’m glad to see you posted on this Cynthia. It’s a very interesting project, and I’m looking forward to seeing what develops with it.
It seems the pictures keep changing, though I couldn’t resist looking and seeing that you’re about a half a row down from me now. I also saw Billy, Margaret Feinberg, Jamie Arpin-Ricci and a few other familiar faces.
Hey C, Thanks for the HT!
Billy & John,
Which one of you wanna crash your site by coming up with 2000 Bloggers 2.0. Thanks for the comments. Last time Tino emailed me he said he was about 30 hours behind! And sorry for the Akismet snafus.
I think I was late on the 2000 bloggers. But better me late than my wife late!
Thanks for the heads up though.
I think 2000 Bloggers 2.0 would fit your site perfectly Cynthia
Are you joking, or do you think this would be a worthwhile possibility?
Sorry Chuckk. It won’t be the same without you.
John, wish I had time. And to answer your question….it’s worthwhile for someone who cares about their technorati rankings for sure. Tino’s links must have gone through the roof. Can you imagine having your site mobbed by that many people – this is the beauty of viral media. This is why there will be so many copycats. Last time I checked his technorati ranking was up in the 8’s; wonder what he started at? At one point he told me he was 30 hours behind and that was with only 1000 people in.
Hello Cynthia!
Thanks for dropping by! Well the thing on my head was a plastic bag (thanks to my friends), lol.
The blow up picture was done on Photoshop. *Psst: Actually in Photoshop, anything goes – as long as you could produce a result. There’re many ways to go about doing it.
So if you have Photoshop installed, I could probably show you how I did mine, in an email (I have your email
). I wouldn’t say my method is the most effective or ‘correct’, but heck it turned out ok. Heh 
Btw John, the pictures keep changing because the page hasn’t finished loading. Give it some time, you’ll notice they stop moving. Tino upgraded his Photobucket account so that he could have unlimited bandwidth for this thing!
Interesting project indeed! (I think there’re still available slots, no?)
Nice meeting you too,
David
David,
Who’da thought that when your friends put it on you, it would go down in blogosphere history? Thanks for the photoshop info – yours looks so good. Wonder if I could do it in elements instead.
Yes, during repagination as he keeps loading we all move. That means your cool hat points to another
I think the slots are all gone according to (4) Chuckk.
Thanks & looking forward to another connect.
Cynthia,
I think my Technorati count has gone up by 10-15, or maybe even more, from this. Do you have an idea? I’m guessing we’d be about the same since we’re close to each other picture-wise–I’m sure you’re killing me with Technorati.
So I can imagine what this would have done for Tino. It is amazing amazing how media can be viral. But if that’s what you rely on for Technorati rankings you’re always having to pull the next stunt, since link counts only last six months if I understand right.
You mean blogging isn’t always about pulling the next stunt?
Tino will end up with a book deal.
Okay, I\’ll fess up, it is.
As always your blog has a good letter. And your soul is fantastic. Thank you so much for your friendship.
Hello, hello, down below, Reg. Thanks for your comments… love left a window in the skies
