I also blog on Xanga.com and the other day on there home page they featured sponsored video. I'm sure they do this often and normally I ignore them, however this one caught my eye. The title read "Hotel 626: Scariest place on the web! (Sponsored Video)". The scariest place on the web. It is interesting that we are considering something that only exist through wires a "place". Anyway I wanted to see what it was about, so I watched the promo video. I get scared pretty easily, and perhaps it was because I watched the video at night, but I thought it was pretty freaky. So I go to the web site. The homepage states that it is only open from 6pm - 6am and if I enter in my name they will let me know when a room is available or something to that effect. By now I'm very intrigued; it's very thought out and creative, thus far, what could they possibly be doing on the internet with this?
Well I have not made it there yet, but research tells me that this is an advertisement for Frito-Lay. It seems to be a freaky puzzle that you work through according this this article. Interesting way to advertise. I'll hopefully try it out tonight and let you know how it goes.
In other news, the election is coming up. In way to get more people pumped about voting or to just have some fun, some sites have come up allowing people to personalize a generic video about you or your friends. The video talks about the person running for, winning or spoiling the elections. Here is a couple some of my friends have used #1 and #2.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! oh yeah and GO VOTE!!
