More community less immunity

Olé amigos,

So I told you about the myspace deal here, well now thanks to our new "VP of Marketing" aka My cousin Brett Mclaughlin we also have a presence on facebook here.

We're also looking for people to shoot Bills training camp so if you'll be there and happen to have a camera please upload some of your footage.

I'm not sure if anyone is reading this blog but for some reason I'm getting traffic from it so I've been keeping up with it.

Well whoever you are feel free to leave a comment to let me know who the heck you are, and thanks for reading.

fondly,

If you need him

What up b-tubers,

So what is up today?

Actually some cool things are in motion. First of all I'm working on improving the website's friend feature, so it has more of a myspace type feel, and makes it more of a real community.

Thanks to the help of my cousin Bret we sent out a press release to a bunch of media outlets to get some much needed publicity. Hopefully we'll get some love on that front.

We've also been on the hunt for a person to hire to head up our ad sales dept, so if you know of anyone send them our way.

Also we're beginning to look at the best way to go about creating our own editorial content. Some ideas I had were:

A sketch comedy show with some of the local comedians.

A serial drama set in buffalo.

We are in active development to create a cooking show in association with Trattoria Aroma Restaurants.

If anyone has any pitch ideas or even better fully formed scripts, we're in a position to produce content and distribute it, so get in touch ASAP before our plate becomes too full. PS no freaks!

you can email me at admin@thebuffalotube.com

Talk to you later.

First time, long time

Hey,

What up folks, just wanted to get something going in the blogosphere so i could feel very cool and also relay information to our supersmart viewers and everyone else who might care.

Well anyway, the site has been up for about a week and a half and we have grown to over 70 members in that time, pretty solid for an organic launch campaign (by organic I mean i didnt spend any cash).

We've recently picked up some momentum and I think people are really spreading the word, I'm just trying to make sure when people do get here they're not dissapointed, or worse, bored. But thats not totally on me, we both need to pull our weight, shooting and creating that good, creamy, fatty content we all crave in the middle of the night. Also if anyone is interested in slurping content from youtube email webdude@thebuffalotube.com and ill set you up with the proper tools.

Finally got google analytics up and chugging keeping track of the traffic on the site, once i gather some more data I'll be sharing it with you here.

I've been getting some responses about user's uploads not working quite right, and I am doing everything I can to make sure the site is as easy to use as youtube, which is what everybody is used to. I hope those of you who are having trouble can be patient while we work out the many kinks inherent in a site launch of this kind.

Also heres some HTML code you can post with a link to TheBuffaloTube.com (the way Ive been using it is posting it is in a comment on myspace and on my profile, but you can put it anywhere you can put html).

heres what they look like:


heres the code you can copy and paste where ever:

<a href="http://www.thebuffalotube.com/index.php"><img src="http://www.thebuffalotube.com/myspacepromo.jpg" width="500" height="300" border="0" /></a>


That's about all for now Ill talk to you all later.



Be good.

BTW We're Hoping someone out there will get some footage from the Moe show and the Italian Heritage festival AKA the Italian Festival, I promise good play to anyone who gives up the good footage.
