Network2 in Times Square: "I want my Network2!"

While I was in San Jose last week attending VON, I woke up one morning with a crazy idea that I had a chance to see implemented yesterday.

After the success of our recently completed user generated commercials promotion, I thought it would be cool to visit Times Square where MTV's TRL is filmed and ask people to record Network2 Video IDs for us. To this day, when I think of MTV, I still think of the early 80s "I want my MTV!" promos. So our thought was to asked people to say "I want my Network2!" and we even offered to pay them for their time. Yesterday afternoon around 3.40pm we found our spot on the corner near TRL (45th and 7th), setup our cameras and started meeting some of the tourists who were visiting Times Square.

While this was going on, Chris Brogan was busy on twitter inviting some of his twitter friends to drop by and also was scouting people to participate in the promotion.

Yesterday afternoon it was in the 70s in NYC which made it feel a lot like the summer. As a team we avoided direct contact with the nearby police (which was a good thing) and ended up having a fun afternoon in NYC. We left Times Square with quite a number of Network2 Video Station IDs and a confirmation that even without a lot of planning, it is possible to take an idea and still "go for it" and than see what happens.

Special thanks to: Chris Brogan, Cameron, Andy Lipson, David Kowarsky (+friend), James Marcus, Grace Piper, Geo Geller and Dan Dubno and all the tourists that happened to pass by 45th and 7th Ave who helped make yesterday happen.

Wholeheartedly agree with Barbara...the event and pics have me longing for a glorious spring day in New York!

Looks fabulous, Jeff.
Nothing like the energy and buzz of NYC.
