Philippine Blog Party Makes Technorati Top Ten

Blogparteeh07 on Technorati

More proof Filipinos are taking over the blogosphere: the tag for the Philippine blog party this Saturday, blogparteeh07, is now the #7 top search on Technorati. It’s the #11 tag, too.

Note that the party hasn’t even happened yet. Imagine what’ll happen once the attendees, bloggers all, start tagging and sharing their photos, videos, and reports. Any flamers brave enough to fight me at the party will win a ton of social media mileage.

This is the power of a unique event tag: buzz marketing and monitoring. Thanks to Shari for the heads-up.

December 5 is Ninja Day

Nevermind that Douglas “Ask a Ninja” Sarine is declaring December 5 Ninja Day, or that he’s having people plan Ninja Day activities with a wiki, or that he’s encouraging photo sharing with the unique tag “NinjaDay2006”. Just dig the sponsors for his DVD release: Yahoo, Microsoft, Revver, Meevee, DivX, and Laughing Squid. In case you’ve been hiding under a rock (or from a ninja) for the last year, “Ask a Ninja” is an award-winning series of online comedy videos parodying the image of ninjas in popular culture, independently produced by improv comedians Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine.

Social media and viral marketing are the ways of the online marketing ninja. I’ll be at Yahoo presscon December 5, but I’ll try to kill somebody for Ninja Day.
