Something "Jamusing"

Okay, so did anybody else get the email today from a Mr. Bruce Lazarus asking you to be part of his advisory board for Jamuse?

Just wondering, since it might seem that he got my contact info from here and it already seems that there is lively debate online as to whether he sent this 300,000 people or what.

Go this email one day:
J.s.,

I would like to personally discuss a position on our Site Advisory Board with you.

We're looking for a cross-section of creative and marketing professionals to serve on our Site Advisory Board. Former execs at Apple and Microsoft will be launching the world's largest creative community. We are opening next month and would value your input.

The site is not available to the public, but you may view and sign in here.

Would you have a chance to review and share your input by Monday?

And got this one today:

J.s.,

I noticed you haven't signed in yet. The first step to being on the advisory board is view and sign in here.

After you sign in, let me know what you think of the site. Are you interested in the opportunity to join the advisory board?

Regards,

I actually visited the site and it looks pretty "thick" and I even sent an email back to the mysterious Mr. Lazarus asking what I had done to deserve this honor. I then googled this and found some lively forum discussion hither and yon from a few hundred selct individuals who wer also asked to be on the board. Now, I'm wondering if ther will be some sort of trial by fire or "survivor" type of competitiojn held among all of those who wish to be on the siad advisory board or if Mr. Lazarus plans on having 40 page stationary to allow for all of the names.

And if I'm not mistaken, isn't Lazarus a pseudonym for the devil.

I'm guessing this is probably the best viral campaign I've seen in a long time. Perhaps the best to date. I was wondering if other Adgabbers had been hit. Of courtse I could be wrong and this might be the closest I'd ever get to being King of England and I just blew it.

Perhaps someone with either more time or patience than I can figure it out and report back to the class.
