Something From My Room

A very simple idea. We send some random person on the internet something from my room...for free.We'll talk about what we are sending and then the response we get from the person receiving it.

No one wants Grapevine! (Besides my friends)

Well, it appears when there is something that is actually cool my friends don't email...When the something is extremely lame they want it. Here are my friends emails. I'll post something that is amazing tomorrow!

These are the only emails I received and they were from my friends:
Hey John Brooks,

I think your site is a good idea. I think this book sounds
interesting, and I would like to read it. Do you think people can
become famous through the Grapevine?
That's what I'd most like to find out.

Dear John Brooks,

Let me tell you why I need that book: . . .well, I honestly can't think
of a reason. It's just too lame. Why don't you give it to a dog to
pee on?

No, no, no, I'm just kidding. I'm just bored and thought I would send
a rude email to you. The book actually looks pretty good if you're
into advertising. I keep up with the site pretty often. Itsumi and I
got an apartment...it's pretty neat! We will move into it in July.
We're leaving for Japan on Thursday, so let me know if you're in
Florence and want to hang out before I go.

Okay, see you later. Please don't post my email. I'm sure someone
else needs the book more than I do.

Grapevine: The New Art of Word-of-Mouth Marketing
( Email me if you want this for FREE)


Ok, so I am an advertising major and I bought this book a while back while in an airport. It is an interesting book about word-of-mouth marketing and has some good insights into starting your own campaign.

UPDATE:I have been told this is the lamest something from my room yet...no one wants it! Come on and send an email people!

If you want this email me your name and address along with a good reason why I should send it to you. Send all email to SomethingFromMyRoom@gmail.com


Also, here are some pictures of how I sent the Go! Team cd. My room mate is an artist and I asked to to make a quick drawing on the back of the cd, I then taped it up and threw a bunch of stamps on there... the Buckeye Butterfly stamp. The pictures were taken with my phone's camera so sorry that they don't do the art justice.
