The big annoucement
A couple of you have asked for a little more information about our big announcement next week. Let's just say that Dan really likes the PayPerPost concept.

You think we're nuts?
Let's not forget all of you out there. You are the inspiration for my madness! Check out this video.

We Storm the Today Show
I am not sure how many of you are fans of the Today Show on NBC, but if you watched it this morning you may have noticed a bunch of PPP banners and t-shirts. We stormed the show this morning and got some great airtime. I won't be home to see the show on TIVO until this weekend. If anyone has it and wants to post a montage of PPP placement that would be awesome. I would will be happy to funnel a bunch of traffic your way from this blog.

We are going to try to keep these videos going so long as we have something worth showing you... and I am pretty sure that is a safe bet for at least the next year or so. Especially with our HUGE announcement coming next week (let the rumors begin).

PPP at OMMA
Brit and I are at OMMA this week introdcuing PayPerPost to about 3,500 new advertisers. We made a little video to show you our new booth.

In addition to meeting tons of great new people we also ran into long time (relatively speaking anyway) Postie Chris Abraham. Thanks for stopping by Chris!

Applause Applause!!
Friends, Romulans and Wookiemen, lend me your ears!

I am confident that each of you fits into one of those categories, right? Good.

I have a few things to relay this morning:

First! Our Reviewing team worked extra extra hard to get the posts reviewed and check it out, we're a hair away from being caught up. I want to thank you all for your patience and your kind words-

So a big round of applause to the Reviewers :)

Second! I reviewed a great deal over the weekend and I just wanted to share a universal high five for everyone who took the PPP Opp about our Blog. I'm glad you appreciate it's quirkiness, good-natured humor, sense of community, and especially, the featured bloggers.

Third! Speaking of featured bloggers, those are on hold for a bit as we deal with some site changes today, but fear not, you'll be reading the randomness that is the blogger surveys in no time flat.

Fourth! As mentioned, we'll be doing a little facelift today. I'm not sure of the the time, but if you receive error messages, 'Application Error Rails,' just leave it be and log back in -in an hour or so.

Featured Blogger: Mike!
Michael, as he states below, has been with us since PPP's launch. What we really like about Mike is that he is careful to pick which of his blogs receives what Opps. His personal blog, for example, covers many, many topics. He saves all the technical stuff for his website, which is very well done and uncluttered. Another great example of balancing content with multiple blogs, Mike is definitely one of our easiest members to review. Stop by to say hi, techies!

Tell us your favorite joke. The punch line cannot be ‘the Aristocrats!’: Dude was in a car accident, it was a bad one he was badly hurt. He was unconscious and the ambulance took him to the ER. His leg was a mess and the doctor amputates.

2 days later he wakes up and the doc says I have bad and good news. The guy said whats the bad news. The doctor says we had to remove your legs.

The man cried OMG my leg.

The doctor said but don't worry there is good news.

The man says what can be so good I just lost my leg?

Featured Blogger: Stacey!
When Stacey joined PayPerPost and started submitting posts, we were really happy with her vibrant blog. I bet living in San Francisco comes with automatic coolness, don't you think? Stacey has always been very wise in choosing what to blog about. We almost never have to reject anything from hers and enjoy bounding around her blog. The bright and clean blog template she uses is very pleasing to the Advertiser's eye, as well. In fact, if you like Stacey's blog, check out the templates that she creates! They're all very awesome.

When did you join PayPerPost, Why?
I just started getting paid this week, so I guess I joined a little over a month ago? You have access to this data, how about you look it up for me? *g*

I actually heard about PayPerPost a couple of months before I joined. I was recommending it to other people, and then I realized that I should take advantage of this opportunity too. Paid to do something I already do? Why not!

If I could be anywhere in the world right now, I would be_________________________

Right where I am. In bed, comfortable and relaxed with my favorite person in the world.

Tell us your favorite joke. The punch line cannot be ‘the Aristocrats!’:

A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter, and their dog. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should totally represent us."

The agent says, "Sorry, I don't represent family acts. They're a little too cute."

Oh wait..

A good gardener is said to have a green thumb, what is a good blogger said to have:

Sore eyes and a red thumb! (from staring at the screen so long and typing so much, or hitting spacebar a lot since that's what the key the thumb is used for)

Fill in the blank: The ___________ is strong with this one.

Think of an answer that's not force. Think of an answer that's not force. The KARMA is strong with this one.

What’s your favorite character Robin Williams played?But there's so many to choose from! Mrs. Doubtfire or Pappass (House of D)

What was the first website you remember visiting?
It was a Yahoo site, a chatroom. I don't remember the name though. I think the word "hot" was in it, but I'm not completely sure. I was 11 or 12 at the time, at a friends house using the Internet for the first time and messing around in chatrooms pretending we were much older (of course).

Have you ever seen a ghost?
Yes! In my old house, we had mirrors lined up against the wall and when I went to the bathroom one night, I swear I saw something reflected in the mirror that wasn't there by the fridge where it appeared.

Name a bully from your elementary school days:
Didn't have one :)
Though there was a girl in middle school who was sorta a bully… She was much bigger than me and would use my head as her personal armrest. Jodi-Ann, I hope you're reading this and feeling bad about it.

Featured Blogger: Andrew!
Andrew's been with us for a while. In fact, I'm certain that he's one of our oldest members, sign-up wise. :) Andrew's blog is actually a very well-visited blog in ye olde blogosphere. Andrew's got a great sense of humor and often stops in for a quick chat via SkypeChat. Please don't take that as an open invitation to start randomly chatting with us :)

We really like Andrew's blog because it has an active, loyal readerbase. His readers leave comments and he covers a lot of cool topics. Stop by, if you have a chance!
