We had an impressive meeting with the team behind SayNow.com this week and we’re happy to say that we’ve launched a new number that fans can call and ask the Ninja questions or leave a comment.
Call it yourself, 818-237-9807.
You can get a flavor of the messages so far here.
What impressed me the most about the concept is that it goes into the mobile space using technology that every phone has in it inherently. The ability to make calls and receive SMS. There’s also no charge to the fans or to us, though we will receive revenue based on stuff we sell through the channel and advertising.
This isn’t sexy iphone apps, it’s just solid tech approaching a problem using reasoning and business sense.
We launch about three housr ago and we’re averaging 30 calls per hour. We’re planning on taking questions directly from the number and calling back a select amount of fans.
Right now SayNow is being used by a ton of musicians, with some groups having hundreds of thousands of fans in their networks. Amazing.
I’ll keep you posted on our progress with it.

Indeed, a cool way to engage the fans. I hope you guys will record the calls that the Ninja makes back and post them someplace!

Yeah if we call back a fan it’s automagically recorded and then we can post that back to the fans. all of the messages are downloadable by us, so we can use them in episodes too.

This is awesome, I can’t wait to hear the answers to some of these. I got a kick out of the one from KS. Its cool that you’ve made the Ninja even more interactive.
