I further developed the Twitter.com/tiffinsider account. Over the course of six-weeks, the Twitter account amassed over 1,400 followers. Hundreds of exclusive tiff photos were shot and uploaded to twitPic and Flickr which saw tens of thousands of views during the campaign. Also established the TIFFinsider YouTube channel, and with nineteen videos uploaded has seen over 25,000 views cumulative.

I consulted and made recommendations to the Maclaren Momentum technical people regarding blog design, SEO, and issues related to server security, maintenance, and plug-in recommendations on the Wordpress managed blog.

Over at Toronto’s City Hall – Legendary rapper KRS-one was holding down a town hall. A classic KayvonTV episode went viral from the event. Besides seeing the video picked up by lots of music news blogs, I also noticed that Toronto Mayor Miller’s right-hand man sent the link through his twitter network.

We’re creating a web news portal for visitors to the area around Toronto’s CN Tower – and a way for the community that visits the area around CN Tower to connect to the local restaurants and services.

I’m thinking it’s time to take the idea of selling banner ads to local business to the next logical level – into the era of blog postings, news stories, and social networks.

The site is being heavily optimized for search around all those keywords peeps be using when touring and visiting Toronto.

I would love to say that getting blogged about on one of the world’s most popular celebrity blogs – PerezHilton.com – just happened and came as a nice surprise. It didn’t. It was actually the result of a carefully crafted plan my producing partner, John Bortolotti and I set in motion a long time ago. We certainly didn’t expect it would take so long. But when you finally reap some traffic rewards – it is worth it. I’ll let the press release explain the rest.

Celebrity gossiper Perez Hilton blogs about KayvonTV.com – pushes the online reality show to #1 most watched video and channel on YouTube Canada

It’s was PEREZ FEST all last week on www.KayvonTV.com – the online reality show featuring media provocateur Kayvon Zahedi. All episodes were themed around celebrity blogger extraordinaire Perez Hilton and feature video interviews with Kayvon and Girlicious, Spice Girls Mel C,and others.

The final episode featuring Kayvon interviewing Perez did not go unnoticed by the celebrity blogger. Perez Hilton, on his wildly successful blog, perezhilton.com posted a blog entry about the memorable meeting calling the video “funny and sweet.”

When Hilton’s blog post linked to KayvonTV’s official YouTube channel – the views exploded. KayvonTV was given the honour of being the #1 most watched video and channel on YouTube Canada for July 27th, 2008. More than 250,000 KayvonTV videos have been viewed during the last week alone.

Next up for KayvonTV are his Red Carpet video reports from the Toronto International Film Festival in September. But KayvonTV producer John Bortolotti cautions, “KayvonTV needs a sponsor. The budget for Kayvon’s chocolate Peps habit alone could very well sink the show.”

KayvonTV episodes can be seen on www.KayvonTV.com, Facebook, and YouTube (www.youtube.com/kayvontv)
