Gnomedexers (and others): Besticker your laptop!
Posted: June 26th, 2005 | Author: Steve | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Gnomedex |It occurred to me yesterday, but not completely: We have a lot of advertising space at our disposal in the form of unadorned laptop screens/lids. Hmmm…is it a screen or a lid? The screen is on the inside, right?
Anyway, I noticed that a few folks had stickers on their computers, and it struck me as a wonderful idea to fill up a little unused space. Since we use our laptops in public places, stickers will serve as conversation starters and are bound to draw a few questions that will give us all a chance to promote the blog/podcast/vlog/RSS/etc cause.
So, I’m putting out the call for all of you who have ugly non-stickered laptops to ask your favorite suppliers for a sticker to put on your laptop. No one expects anyone to advertise for a product they don’t believe in, but it’s in all of our interests to promote the cause at large.
Currently, I have only Firefox and Technorati. I am seeking the following:
WordPress – Matt M. says they’re waiting on a new logo.
Feedburner – Rick Klau says “coming soon”
RSS – Mr. Winer? Microsoft (thinking deep pockets here…)
LinkedIn.com – ok, not exactly blog or RSS related, but still a cool service.
Why don’t you pin your RSS/lockergnome pin on somehow? And BTW, that would make an excellent sticker.
Nancy, that’s a fine idea, and I have put my RSS pin on my bag. I tried putting it on the laptop, but the plastic is just too hard to push the pin through
