IDK, my BFF Russell...

Over the last few days, I've been meeting some pretty swell people here at MOSH. This is what web marketers like myself call "two-way communication". I send messages on behalf of the brand (Russell, in this case, or MOSH, I guess), and with the awesomeness of web technology, the consumer (MOSH users) can respond instantaneously.

Your question: "Well Russell, what types of messages have you been sending me?"

My reply: All sorts of things, and mostly, through subliminal means. Stuff like:

- USE MOSH.
- UPLOAD TREASURES.
- DOWNLOAD STUFF.
- PUBLISH THINGS.
- OBEY MY DAD.

Things like that. And for the most part, it's been working. You're a bright bunch, so I'm guessing you've already expected as much.

I'm getting better at two-way communication, so I'll go ahead and own the term. Don't confuse this with pwn, however. Skilled marketers take lots of intangible things and put trademarks on them.

In the spirit of Russell Reality (TM), check out these special users:

eesees
A challenger appears! But it looks like Moshing and eesees are on the same team. You see, eesees recently took over the number 1 ranking here at MOSH. I love the spirit of friendly competition!

rambo9
"Burma's a warzone. I don't head upriver. You ain't changin' nothin'. Live for nothing...or die for something. Live your life cause you've got a good one." rambo9 had me at Rambo. You sir, are a saint for choosing that screenname.

asmodemon
asmodemon is a new friend of mine and we really think alike. This MOSHer has uploaded a solid set of wallpapers, and I can tell asmodemon has great things in store for MOSH.

Heading upriver,
Russell
