The problem is I'm just a geek with an algorithm that's kind of fun, definitely not a rapper poet.
I like the twitter idea though. Definitely worth a try.
- prawn 17y agoThat's fine, but you can either stay as just a geek with an algorithm (no excuses! ;)) and wonder if the site will ever get attention, or find a co-conspirator or push out of your usual territory. I reckon the latter is simplest (especially since there's hardly revenue to split with a partner) and picking two interesting words a day and plugging them on Twitter with an example of what you expect is pretty easy. Another idea: Have a topical lyric competition on your blog. Each day of the week is a different format - couplet, limerick or whatever. And each time, the topic is something new that's in the news - natural disasters, celebrities, movie launches, etc. Get friends involved and seed it until the regulars start to suggest news and other ideas. Plus, try some viral stuff that people might spread around. Tweet, "You'll never guess what 'earthquake' almost rhymes with! http://www.b-rhymes.com/rhyme/word/earthquake http://www.b-rhymes.com/rhyme/word/earthquake " Who the hell wouldn't click that to find out?! :)
- mclin 17y agoHmm... I'm picturing internet earthquake memes... :P This is going to sound funny, but I was taking the obvious geek approach with this, which is... make it into an iPhone app! http://www.b-rhymes.com/iphone/ http://www.b-rhymes.com/iphone/ How predictable am I? haha. I can see though that I'm probably going to need some community if it's ever going to stick. Anyway, thanks for the input!
