The taste left in my mouth by moonfruit is bittersweet
Sorry for not updating sooner. I’ve been very busy at my day job and afterwards with work on the next Project Peru site. My mind has been a-buzz all week!
So no, I didn’t win jack from the MoonFruit contest. Didn’t even get a “wow, this guy’s site idea sucks balls!” (or something along those lines) tweet from @moontweet.
Only one of my friends tweeted about it and left a comment on the site (thanks @DonnaVitan!) even after I e-mailed a bunch of people that I figured would totally help me out. Am I bit tweaked about that? Ya of course. Don’t want to make a sob story of a blog posty, but WTF?
What the hell happened here? Why was this such an epic fail in networking? This is something that will haunt for quite a while I think.
I know the people I e-mailed when to the site, and some people from Twitter went to the link I tweeted about (who knows if @moontweet was one of them). In 6 days, the site received 136 unique visitors, with 900 page views. That’s about the only thing that I found remotely successful about this little endeavour.
Sorry MoonFruit, I will work on my lame YouTube video acting and solarizing Photoshop filters for the next contest :Pem
Oh and the icing on the cake was that they ended up giving out morn 3 iPods after the creative contest was finished!
