Some statistics about "Snakes On A Plane"
Brian Finkelstein, the citizen marketer who is largely responsible for the incredible buzz surrounding the forthcoming movie "Snakes On A Plane," has statistics about his volunteer marketing efforts:
I’ve been online for 90 days. I’ve had about 265,000 visitors. I’ve posted 185 stories. There have been 770,000 requests for pages, and a staggering 18,100,000 requests for all files (these are mostly people hotlinking to images and comics that I’ve hosted and posting them on other forumsaround the net). I’ve transferred 375 gigabytes of data (slowly approaching a terrabyte!). The most popular day of the week is Friday. The most popular hour of the day is between 1pm and 2pm.
I’ve gotten seven free t-shirts, one free hat and one free button (more please). A fan started petition requesting I be allowed to attend the premiere is currently standing at nearly 600 signatures (more please). There are currently 31 translations of “Snakes on a Plane” into foreign languages (more please). I’ve been interviewed by two TV crews. According to Google, SnakesOnABlog.com has appeared in 34 newspaper stories, been linked to by 521 blogs, and over 6,500 other webpages.
A company couldn't ask for a better citizen marketer. I'd love to see an intrepid public relations firm calculate the value of his work.

Is there any possible chance that Snakes on A Plane will even come close to living up to its hype? Does it even matter at this point? No and No. I dont know how all the hype started for this movie, but if it was Brian Finkelstein from Snak... [Read More]
Hey me too, I'd love someone to send me a paycheck.
Brian -- The folks at New Line are smart cookies. I can't imagine any possible reason why they wouldn't invite you to the premiere.
Ditto! :-)
