Interesting Viral Experiment

21 March 2007 by Cord Silverstein, 5 Comments

Folks, I introduce you to the Erin Bracht Phone Experiment. A woman named Erin has posted a video where she gives out her cell phone number and wants to see how many calls she can get. I would be interested to see how many people call her and whether this viral video is for real or not. Her video is below.

Update: I actually called the number, I wanted to see if this was for real or not. The number had been turned off. Do you think that makes the experiment successful or a failure?

    Yeah, but somthing tells me that that number is the number of her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend.

    Jonathan – I was actually doing some more research and according to some comments I read, all the calls went to a voicemail where they were promoting some web site. So as always, it was some kind of spam. What can you do..
