Where the bloody hell are you?

December 15th, 2006 by Sarah King

That’s the catch phrase from an Aussie ad campaign but is quite apt when looking at some picks posted by lad called Ottodo.

Ottodo's rocks

Ottodo found some picks and in one the rock formations and sky look quite unusual so he posted them online. I was curious so I googled the photo’s image name and Google returned two pages of candidates and there at the bottom of page #2 was the photo.

Ottodo says the series of shots in the photo gallery aren’t his… but they are cool. See http://g.ozq8.com/categories.php?cat_id=647

Stu’s Xmas Avatar Takeover

We all hunt down ways to push our sites out infront of people and Stu McHenry has come up with the latest cool trick – get as many users as possible to use your Christmas avatar as possible on the major forums. Certainly if you look at the memberlist at DigitalPoint there has been a significant uptake (although this will change after Xmas, I guess).

An excellent viral marketing campaign so far.
