Rocketboom’s Andrew Baron Combines Podcasting with Twitter and a Wiki. Tommy Tutone Would Be Proud
Andrew Baron, creator of the Rocketboom Podcast (one of the first and most well-known) put out a request via Twitter asking people to call the number 867-5309 (remember…Tommy Tutone song) from all area codes — and better yet, to report their findings on the Rocketboom Wiki.
Here’s Andrew Baron’s Twitter page, from where the call-out was made.
And here’s the Wiki where people are leaving their results. (I’m assuming they’ll do a story on the Rocketboom Podcast.)
Using podcasting, Twitter, and a Wiki – all for a fun experiment. How can you apply this to your own online marketing? Maybe use it as an excuse to promote your own Twitter page – or better yet, your own wiki or community. The point of the story is a case study of someone using three burgeoning Web 2.0 media to gather and deliver information.
I thought it was cool.

Nice, I’ve been entertaining the idea of web 2.0 implementation… only, I’m unsure where to begin…
So many choices, not enough time in the day
Lots of stuff going on in Atlanta!
Brad, I’ll buy you lunch. Just shoot me a date and time!

That is a very interesting promotional stunt but I have to agree with you that it would be tricking using this concept to market say an online retailer.
