Interesting Viral Experiment

21 March 2007 by Cord Silverstein, 5 Comments

Thanks for stopping by! Hey, why don't you do what all the cool kids are doing and subscribe to my RSS feed? You know you want to, so go ahead, be bad, be very very bad... :) Thanks.

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..
