A FEW TIPS ON HOW TO SPREAD THE WORD

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I noticed a lot of people following the CUBE on twitter who happen to be new to it. So I thought it would be cool to put together a “how to” in terms of making twitter (and more) work for you and how YOU can help spread the word.

I know, I know, why would I help other people win MY dream car? Well, cause I want to help. The task at hand right now is to help spread the word… so I figured if I would help others do so! :)

So, here’s a few tips on how you can help spread the word and get yourself noticed!

TWITTER

So, you’re following the Hypercube. AWESOME! but you need to follow more people. Why? Well think of it this way. You are the leader of your little space on twitter. If you are only following the hypercube (let’s now refer to the hypercube as the overall ruler of the world for the purpose of this analogy) then anytime the ruler asks you to help spread the word, you’re only spreading the word back to the ruler :) so, first things first, you can start by following some of the other people following the Hypercube here You will also want to start following other people, friends, co-worker, random people ;) that way, you’re not only preaching to the converted!

@Franciscochu sent this to me today to help you as well: http://twitter.com/twitter_tips/ if you follow them, they will give you daily tips and links to help you get versed in all things Twitter.

Another good tip is, if you are trying to communicate with the hypercube on twitter, then you should always have @thehypercube in your update. If you don’t put that in, then The Hypercube won’t know you’re talking to them :)

One last thing with twitter, if you put #thehypercube at the end of all your posts about/to The Hypercube, then everyone can see what everyone’s doing via a twitter search like this.

That should get you all set with Twitter! :)

FACEBOOK

There’s lots of things you can do Facebook to help spread the word. The most oblivious and easiest would be to start a group! Invite all your friends and tell them what you’re up to! You should also become a fan of The Hypercube here! You can also post all the stuff you’re doing there.

OTHER

Now, this is where we get into the serious stuff :) One Hypercuber (of many!) that are doing what i’m about to mention, is Sunny Crittenden She so rules at this that it’s not even funny. Another way to help spread the word is to get on message boards, leave comments on blogs, your local paper’s site… so on and so forth. You can see how Sunny is owning this realm here.

Now, with all these tips, you should be able to rule this. I hope this was helpful and i wish everyone all the best in this amazing Quest for the Cube!

We’re back in business!

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

After quite the scare, my little blog is back up and running! Believe it or not I’m glad it went down. A lot of fellow hypercubists showed their concern, and even tried to help. I can’t begin to tell you about how awesome that was. Usually, people don’t help “the competition”. This goes to show that there are good people out there. I truly thank everyone, from the bottom of my heart for your help and support!

SOME STUFF I’VE DONE

Friday, March 27th, 2009

So, it dawned on me today, that as much as creating this blog, designing it etc, may be creative… i haven’t showcased any of my other stuff! So i’ve been digging around to find some stuff i’ve done in the past. More to come!!!

This is a piece I shot and edited a while back. It’s the Towers Of London when they came to Toronto for the first time. I love these guys so much!

This is a music video that myself and my good friend Mark shot on one fine rainy day in London Ontario. 1 camera, 2 of us, and Chad (the artist). This i co-shot with Mark and edited myself.

This is a “cribs” segment that i edited for Chad as well:

And THIS, this my friends, was the trailer for quite possibly the most scarring DVD project i’ve ever worked on! lol, if you are all familiar with Hedley, the you know how much these boys like to take their clothes off! lol NOTE: IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO SEE BARE BOTTOMS, PEEING IN PUBLIC, AND PUKING, THEN DO NOT WATCH!

Ok, so i’ll leave you with those for now… more to come! and not just video stuff! :)

TORONTO CUBE TWEET-UP!

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

ok, so myself and a few other twits @mindzai @eckstatic @capsulecom & @franciscochu have decided to have a Cube Tweet-Up on Friday March 27th! Why?…. Why Not? Originally, we were gonna get together for fun, do some crypwalkin’ BUT why not get all the T.O. & GTA Hypercubers together!?

So if you can, meet us all at The Fox & The Fiddle on John St (South of the Much Music building) Look for me! I think i’ll be the easiest to spot as i dont know many people with crooked bangs and white hair! lol

here’s a map of where we’ll be.

7pm – ?

See you all there!!!! oh, and i know traditionally, tweetups require name tags with our twitter handles… i think that’s silly. Let’s just get together, hang and have a good time!

PS. Leave a comment and let us know if you’re coming. If we can get enough of us out, maybe TheHyperCube will make an appearance?! :)
