Ryan one of the frequent visitors to the website sent an email of treats over today with links to more iJustine greatness.
Lava row recently wrote an article on the Top 5 Social Media Superstars of 2007. Guess who was at the top of the list?
SocialTNT wrote a long article on Justine for their ‘end of the year’ edition highlighting iJustine.
Year in review
Justine had a busy year with her travels all over from coast to coast attending conventions for podcasting, xTrain events and every other web2.0 gathering that came around. Even with all of that Justine was able to put out some hilarious videos on Revver and Viddler and who can forget the viral hit of the iPhone bill in a box. Justine got an iTattoo of the Apple logo and no one knows for sure if it’s legit or was some fancy work with a sharpie.
It’s hard to think that the fan site has only been up for 6 months and has got great feedback from a lot of the other iJustine fans. Even Steve Jobs gave some credit to the fansite. I only think it’s a matter of time before Justine and the Real Steve meet IRL. This may be the year!
Coming in 2008
I plan on doing some fun things with the fan site this year. More contests, more interaction and yes more posts. I initially wanted to run the fan with more of a sarcastic tone. The title “What Would iJustine Do” was really going to be the basis for most of the posts. I may get a few of these in from time to time but I think that most of the fans want a more serious tone to the site. Am I correct in thinking this?
When I got the “What Would iJustine Do” domain, I also got a couple other domains. (I am a domain name junkie) I was having both of those domains pointed directly to the fan site and have decided to break them apart and make separate pages out of each of them. You may have already experianced this if you typically go here or here. I’m not completely sure how each of these additional sites will turn out but I plan on making them unique.
Happy New Year
Thanks again for all the support and lets make 2008 a great year!
you may remeber a couple weeks ago Justine posted the picture of her and Brooke wearing the Yahoo shirt. Justine also just posted a hilarious dance including Brooke and I thought you may want to see more of her.
Brookers has a ton of videos she has put together that are laughalicious. You should stop by and watch a few. Her Harry Potter in a minute video was my favorite.
I don’t know where to start. The site has a very regular visit rate that has grown a lot since it was launched in July with this first post. Starting off with 10 initial visitors, the site has had a regular stream of about 200-300 a day for the past couple months. I have Google analytics on the site to track these things as well as show me where the visits are coming from around the world. All over North America the site seems to be a hit and we have people from as far away as Russia and Australia [Dj Steen] as well.
Something happened though when The Fake Steve Jobs posted a link to the hysterical Justine video from Revver though. A simple link to the iJustine fan site increased viewership to over 4,500 in a day and it made my chart look scary. The visits definatley peaked and dropped off, but that shows the power of the internet and the site has averaged a higher viewership since.
So I want to thank the new visitors and all of the loyal ones for making this site as popular as it has become. I would like to find a way to show my appreciation and I’m actively thinking of a way to make that happen. Until then, I would like to extend an open invitation to any of the fans a link on the blog roll to help drive some traffic to your sites and I will be adding some new features to the site that will make this more interactive for you soon.
I did not know what would become of this site. Initially I was thinking this would be a fad that would run out after a few weeks and I’d only be out the cost of a domain from GoDaddy and some time, but I have made the decision to continue this blog as long as I possibly can and since I don’t plan on on going anywhere without the internet anytime soon, I will keep the updates on Justine for a long time. If you haven’t already done so and you like the site, add this to your RSS reader by clicking the RSS logo in the upper right corner of the page.
Surprisingly, Justine was up early this morning - considering how late she went to bed. After a short chat, she spent the middle of the day editing.
Then it was off to Paul’s for dinner. On the way she encountered a crazy driver.
The camera was off for most of the time Justine was at Paul’s.
After dinner, Justine adventured to Improv where she watched Anthony (Skippy) do some stand-up comedy. At this point the chatroom was pretty dead. Nothing to do with Anthony - Improv just wasn’t what the peeps wanted, I guess.
Afterwards, Justine and Anthony hung out at the bar for a while.
Justine made it home safely and went to bed at a reasonable time (for her) because she has to get up early to shoot a Reform Pittsburgh video.
