so... mk and I were having an email discussion last week about the following question:

"How do we get tons of people to know about Hubski?"

We discussed a few ideas, and the one I think has the greatest probability of gaining traction is a coordinated-all-hands-social media blitz. If a couple hundred of us (there are more hubski members than that) choose a specific day, and do everything in their power to get the word out, we could see a difference.

I think it would look something like this: If you tweet - tweet the hell out of hubski and share your favorite posts/articles. If you have a blog, write about hubski that day. If you use Facebook, YouTube, Google+, or any other forum, group, or network, write about hubski and link back to a favorite article or articles.

I would propose Monday July 9 for the blitz. People are getting back to work, they're looking at Facebook after a long holiday weekend, they're checking their news feeds.

What say you hubski? Is this the most effective and efficient way to get the word out? Can a few hundred of us in this "thoughtful web" community make a difference in hubski traffic with a coordinated one day blitz?

b_b: Good idea; good experiment, too.
