Sorry for the long time no post. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

I had a podcast for you guys last week, but when I uploaded it to the blog and played it, I sounded like a chipmunk. If anyone knows how to convert the mp3 I have from 32 bit to 64 bit, please let me know, because I think that’s what’s causing the problem.

As for all you lucky bastards that got your hands on a new Wii or PS3, hope you’re having fun .

As most of you know, especially if you’re in college, we’re getting close to the end of the first semester. That means it’s time to rock hard with Walamu. Our hardcore marketing starts tomorrow and I’ll let you know what we’ve got planned. The reason I idled on the marketing for most of the semester was because most people hang on to their textbooks and other stuff (like dorm furniture) while classes are in session and so now that we’re nearing the end of the semester it’s time to roll out the billboards. Up til now, I’ve mainly been focusing on creating a brand for Walamu on campus as opposed to actually getting people to use it. However, now that Walamu is pretty well established on campus, it’s time to go for the goods. Here’s what’s in store for tomorrow:

I’ve ordered and received 5000 business card sized flyers.

and I’ve hired a very motivated and hard working college student/model to help talk to students about Walamu/hand out those cards. She really knows her stuff and so I have high hopes for her.
In addition, I’ve ordered some Walamu gear for us to be promoting in (can’t show you how they look, CafePress blocks that somehow).
All in all, it’s looking pretty good. Hopefully, talking to students one-on-one and letting the know what Walamu is about might be what the super-fickle college student needs to try out a new service.
