How should we launch? What is the best way for us to have a slammin' cool, tight open our doors to the public event?

How do we get more exposure, write ups in techcrunch, mashable,etc? (more exposure for you guys, yeah!) How do we get on the first page of dig, stumbled etc? How do we get more members for you to play with? How do we get more stuff for you guys to see; more blogs, pictures, video's, etc? How do we blow up cre8Buzz at launch? How can we get ya'll involved, cause ya'll got us this far?

HOW DO WE CREATE BUZZ FOR CRE8BUZZ?

I Know ! I know! Jackal jumps up with hand in the air. Ask me, ask me.

Okay, I pictured the Space Shuttle plastered with the Cre8buzz Logo and on launch day have various communities projected onto the shuttle and throw in the catchy cre8buzz tune and we'll have blast off. The launch is usually big news ao will be covered by all the international channels... then there is the opportunity to see the shuttle orbiting as she does what she does and then when she comes back down to earth... we'll show how hot cre8buzz is as the shuttle scorches on re-entry.

Jackal satisfied she's got a sound, do-able answer trots off to have other great and wonderful ideas. ;)

Hack and crash all the other sites?

I'm just kidding. I don't know anything about hacking. Well, kinda-sorta I do.

I don't think I'm helping. I'll keep thinking. That's fairly dangerous but I'll do it...for CRE8BUZZ!!

I doubt anyone could come up with anything better than what Jackal has suggested.
I reckon you should have Jackal on board for sure.

Product placement, baby!

Hire James Bond as a spokes-spy!

Have 7-11 rename their slurpees "Cre8Buzzees"

Somehow get the cre8buzz logo into all the TV previews this week. Can you see Meredith Grey clicking through the 'medicine' community? Or Seely Booth clicking through the 'hot FBI guys' community?

Hire Aerosmith to do TV commercials with Wayne and Garth!

To go public BIG do exactly what John Reese did with his BlogRush, the only thing that will be different will be there wont be problems with Cre8buzz.

You guys have aced it in making this site and yes this is one of the coolest and tightest communities I have ever seen.

How about all the members that are here write the same content on the very same day on all their blogs. All of your blogs have some kinda readerships and loyal fans and although press release and all that will help, blogs will get to a cretain group of people that would never know.

Let's prepare a post and post it on the big day on all our blogs and get the Anthill buzzing like crazy on the internet, Anyone in??

mmmmmmm..... I like where ritubpant is going!

First off, how soon are you planning on doing this?

I like Ritu's idea, and I'm completely on board if it's what you decide to do--you know that already, I hope.

My only concern with it is that even the most popular bloggers here are NOT huge names in the blog world. (It's one of the things I really like about this place, actually, but it could hinder you in your big launch.)

And, of your 500 + members here, I wonder how many would actually bother with putting this on their blog. Some of us are very active and dedicated to the buzz, but others are just here for the ride--which is fine, but you may not get a lot of promoting out of them.

I guess what I'm saying is that yes, I think Ritu's idea is a good one and that we should go with it, but only as a piece of the big plan. What should the other pieces be? yeah... I have no idea. But we'll be thinking about it.

Oh, and one last thing. Stop giving us credit for how awesome this place is. It's because of YOU GUYS and we're so grateful for all you've done here. :-)

I hear where you are coming from Brillig. I am pretty sure they are going to have a press release which will create quite a buzz. I dont know what other marketing plans they have decided on yet.

About blogs, even if only 200 of us write down the launch date and a brief info on our blogs and if each blog has ony 2 readers thats still 400 people that were exposed, who might have never known as some people are not as active on the internet.

Also I am excited about this. I have been talking about it in a couple of forums and have submitted the link to a lot of articles sites and all that.

Also another thing that might be helpful is Antman, that you guys should pick a date and start marketing right away so as to create anticipation in public. My views, lemme know what you think and if there is anything I can do personally shoot at me and will do what I can

Brillig does have a point, but it is ok, we don't expect anyone, never mind everyone to do our job. I'd be a liar, if I told ya, we didn't like the fact that folks wanna help! Ya'll are tight!

ritubpant, - good point on a date. Can you say . . . Sunday October 7! Mark it in ya calendar. It's the cre8Buzz comin out party!

We appreciate the help guys, we like where you are goin'.

. . . no Brillig, we won't stop given ya'll credit, cause last time I checked no one liked hangin' out in a network of one. All we did was build it. Ya'll are makin it what it is!!!
