10 Unique (or stupid) ways to promote a blog. You may have seen a million and one other lists out there, this one is all new!
10 Unique (or stupid) ways to promote a blog. You may have seen a million
and one other lists out there, this one is all new!
1. Do a live blogging YouTube nude streak onto the Superbowl arena.
2. Pretend you are a fake Walmart blog.
3. Do a series of trades to turn your house into one blue paper clip.
4. Hijack a combine harvester and cut an outline of your URL address into a
corn field so it shows up on Google Earth.
5. Print off a blog post onto a very large piece of paper, hire a group of
women over the age of 100 to stand in the crowd at Good Morning America
holding up the sign.
6. Announce an attempt to swim around the world non-stop with your blog URL
painted on your back. A shark cage is optional as a shark attack will get
you a top listing on Digg.
7. Blog about bloggers who blog about bloggers who are blogging about the
blogosphere. Be quick while it's still untapped niche.
8. Create a fictitious blogger and make him/her your nemesis. Constantly
attack each other is an escalating cycle of criticism and hatred that
ultimately turns to violence. Kill off your nemesis blogger in a live
blogging ultimate kick boxing event in a mystery Asian country.
9. Stow away on the space shuttle mission to service the Hubble Space
Telescope. After the work on the Hubble is completed sneak out in a space
suit and paint your URL in reverse onto the lens of the telescope. Make
sure you use really small letters.
10. Buy a white mattress. Cut it in half. Cut holes in the sides for your
arms and the bottom for your legs and leave one whole in the top for your
head. Remove enough of the stuffing so you fit inside it. Print off your
blog homepage onto two very large pieces of paper. Staple it to both sides
of the mattress. Put the mattress on and stand on the busiest street in
your home city. Leave in enough stuffing so it doesn't hurt when teenagers
start beating you.

Osama to Bush
After numerous rounds of "We don't even know if Osama is still alive,"
Osama himself decided to send George Bush a letter in his own
handwriting to let him know he was still in the game.
Bush opened the letter and it contained a single line of Coded message:
370H-SSV-0773H
Bush was baffled, so he e-mailed it to Condoleezza Rice.
Condi and her aides had not a clue either, so they sent it to the FBI.
No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to NASA.
Eventually they asked Britain's MI-6 for help.
Within a minute MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply:
"Tell the President he's holding the message upside down."

Fw: DIE-VORCE
DIE-VORCE!!!
A married couple is driving along a highway doing a steady 40 miles per
hour.
The wife is behind the wheel.
Her husband suddenly looks across at her and speaks in a clear voice.
"I know we've been married for twenty years, but I want a divorce."
The wife says nothing,
Keeps looking at the road ahead but slowly increases her speed to 45 mph.
The husband speaks again. "I don't want you to try and talk me out of it,"
He says, "because I've been having an affair with your best friend,
And she's a far better lover than you are."
Again the wife stays quiet,
But grips the steering wheel more tightly and slowly increases the speed
to 55
He pushes his luck. "I want the house," he says insistently..
Up to 60 ..
"I want the car, too," he continues.
65 mph.
"And," he says, "I'll have the bank accounts, all the credit cards and the
boat!"
The car slowly starts veering towards a massive concrete bridge.
This makes him nervous, so he asks her, "Isn't there anything you want?"
The wife at last replies in a quiet and controlled voice.
"No, I've got everything I need," she says.
"Oh, really," he inquires, "so what have you got?"
Just before they slam into the wall at 65 mph,
The wife turns to him and smiles.
"The airbag."
Moral of the Story :
Women are clever!!!
Don't mess with them!!
Just smile and pass this on to those who need a laugh!!!
Harry potter and piracy of internet.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has finally made it to bookshelves.
Security on the last of the Harry Potter book series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was so tight that book publisher Scholastic took extraordinary measure of forcing all those handling the book before its release date in the wee hours Saturday to sign away their lives or face consequences of Voldemortian proportions.
In spite of security few day before book official release, few of the
websites posted photographs of pages from Harry potter and the deathly hallows. The photographed version book spread like wild fire and all one had to do was google or search torrents to get it. The publishers had hard time ordering the websites to remove the link.
While the publishers were screaming "unfair", I personally feel it just increased curiosity of muggles, and has helped the book sell more. I am pretty sure there are Harry's fan who must have downloaded and viewed the photograph collection to get a peek; but must have still gone out to buy the book. The last book in Harry potters series has already broken all the
previous records. At least the Harry's magic has worked for Jk Rowling.
