The 2007 Conference for Non-Profits will be a great opportunity for some guerilla marketing for Blackbus. We are already starting subtly - blue namebadges to replace the standard black that everyone gets with their registration.
Well what else can we do? Let's assemble a list of challenges for people to achieve. The first people to achieve them will get prizes! This attack will be modelled after a similar approach taken by Meebo, a web-based IM aggregator.
Vithout further ado, I will now shamelssly rip off their pitch for participation!
Go meebo! is the place at meebo where you guys can help spread the word about what we hope is your favorite place to IM.

Hereç—´ the twist. If youæ±*e the type that likes to push the envelope a bit, we thought up a bunch of zany ideas for spreading meebo with video. Can you get meebo onto the big screen at one of the key notes? Film it and we値l post it! Are you headed to Spain this year for the running of the bulls? Sport a Blackbus t-shirt, capture it on film and we値l post it!
Feel free to make up and submit your own Blackbus video idea, too. If we like it (we're pretty easily entertained), we'll be sure to show it off here and on our blog! Lights, camera, action ... upload!
Let the craziness begin! To submit, please upload your video to YouTube and post the link here. We値l link to it in our blog and enshrine it in the Go BlackBUS! hall of fame forever and ever and ever.
