I'm trying to make a log story short, so bear with me.
I met a fellow 2-3 years back, who was selling a piece of software we used when we were running vBulletin forum software. The guy is an absolute hoot, but he is also the consummate salesman. I'm telling you, Joe could run out of stock, selling ice makers to Eskimos.
Back in October, Joe was trying to decide what he wanted to get for a Halloween costume. He decided he's such a hard guy (aye, right!), he would dress up as Dog the Bounty Hunter. A few days later, he saw a photograph of me and got discouraged when he saw the length of my hair. He said I was so close to the right hair that he was giving up on his idea. Although he and I spent several subsequent days, referring to one another as "Brah" on Twitter.
Joe has co-founded a new company, called Viral Age and they're using all sort of gimmicks to attract people to their new site. When they set up their site, they set up a 404 error page that was guarded by V-Gor, the gorilla. But it's turned out that V-Gor does a lot more than just guard their Web pages.
For those unfamiliar, it is common to recommend people that you follow on Twitter to your other followers. The idea being that it is an excellent way to build a network of followers, with a good chance they will all be of like minds and have similar interests. So, on Fridays, you send tweets with a Follow Friday hashtag, that looks like this - #FF - followed by some of your contacts that you think other followers will appreciate.
Joe has decided that Viral Age needs to be promoting a new concept he calls Waving Wednesday. Waving Wednesday requires more than just a simple tweet, you need to post a short video, introducing a Twitter follower to your other followers.
Well, today was my lucky day. Joe decided it was time to introduce me to his other followers. And if you look closely, you can even see V-Gor in the background. I had to watch it 2-3 times to see V-Gor, I was laughing so loud.
