Laid Back Chat We are all friends here and sometimes we just want to chat. It doesn't have to be real estate web development all the time, some times we have a new baby in the family, sometimes we have a beef or boquet. Sit back and relax here.

Default Ethan Haas Was Right

If any of you went to see Transformers, you saw a trailer for a movie but it didn't say the name of the movie -- only when it would come out. The clandestine name of the movie is Cloverfield, though it is not actual title of the movie (at least I don't think so). If you follow the trail of clues left in the trailer, you eventually end up on a site called ethanhaaswasright.com.

If you ever wanted an example of linkbait combined with viral marketing, this is a prime example....

This is one awesome flash design there. So people are led to be curious about the site the whole time? Good way to make sure people remember the name of the site longterm.

Hehehe Terry, I was going to make a blog post about this the other day. Reed and I have been discussing it quite a bit. You can find more if you search "1 18 08" on Google.

It's a movie coming out on the date mentioned above, produced by J.J. Abrams... Creator/director/producer of lost.

And yes, this kind of marketing is genius! It's got me hyped up about it and I have NO idea what it is.

There is also another site dedicated to it at ethanhaaswasright.blogspot.com

Interesting. I pretty much forgot about the trailer, even though the movie looked amazing. It definitely has that "Lost" feel. The way J.J. tells stories I don't think the movie will have an ending. Definitely will have at least 2 or 3 sequels to tell the whole story.

Did any of you open up the site yet? At first I thought it was like "Wack a Mole" but my son's working on it right now - I gave up - my reading glasses just aren't good enough!
