Over
the past few months, Lucy has gained popularity in the form
of one of those links that just gets forwarded in emails and
through online forums. On occasion, I find one of these and
keep an eye on them, always interested in what is being said.
Last month, I found this forum on remantculture.com.
One
user (right above this sentence) even recommends another DoubleParker.com
feature for those that enjoyed Lucy the Cactus – this
is the kind of advertising I love. Good word of mouth is hard
to beat.
Lucy update:
This
week I discovered a forum hosted by a group calling themselves
the Friends of Lucy! Now these are my kind of people! A group
of good folks brought together to talk about random nonsense
using the Lucy the Cactus feature as their way of generating
dialogue. If I posted a comment on their forum, would I be
regarded as a celebrity? Who knows, but I think I’ll
give it a shot when grad school quiets down a bit.
