The Importance of Being a Blogger





Since my last post our Facebook page has increased to over 654 fans! I am totally amazed at how viral this medium is and how quickly it can grow. Its probably been helped a lot by the roster of cool events we promoted via FB, including our Leap Year VIP party featuring DJ Stonebridge straight from Sweden, ya. We actually took a podcast of the night which you can check out here. I’ve become hooked on these podcasts, so we organized another one for Friday night. We had K-os in the house! With a guest list of 400 and counting I was a bit nervous about capacity, but it was a huge success! If you didn’t get a chance to come down, be sure to watch the podcast on FB, we should have it posted in the next couple of days.

[BTW: Now that our brilliant social marketers have wrangled us into Facebook, we’ll be using the page as an invite list, as well as posting photos and video, so check back often to see the latest updates and leave feedback. ]

With one FB page down, I just can’t stop. Across the country, we’ve already got a Facebook page set up for the sophisticated Suco Resto-Lounge at Opus Montreal. But, what I’m really excited about is unveiling the announcement of our 9000 foot super-glam new restaurant and bar that is opening in 6 weeks. (Eek). We are seriously down to business getting ready for this huge launch and the days are passing at an alarming pace. I had a sneak peak at the website today though and am completely keyed up about its debut next week. Very sexy! Make sure to check it out…on the QT, we’ll be running a contest on it that you won’t want to miss. Oh yes, and there’ll be another Facebook profile for that too. If you’re dying to know what the name is, you’ll have to check back. It’s top secret until next week.

In case you were wondering, I still don’t have my own Facebook page. I’m working on it! It’s tough to devote a spare second to my virtual self, but I will soon. Looks like the “Get Katrina to join Facebook” group I talked about last time has their work cut out for them.
