Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate’s life for MyPunchbowl
Happy International Talk like a Pirate Day. It’s a pretty special day around MyPunchbowl. We have lots of users who are planning pirate festivities (it helps that International Talk Like a Pirate Day is on a Friday this year). By my count, there are at least a couple hundred pirate-related events being hosted by MyPunchbowl users. This morning, people are walking around our office singing pirates songs, and our lead developer is speaking in pirate. Our home page has been updated with an appropriate pirate greeting, and we’ve maxed out our search engine marketing budget for the keyword “Pirate Party Planning.” Hopefully we won’t blow our entire funding in one day.
Here’s a screenshot of our updated MyPunchbowl home page greeting:
TechCrunch has an article this morning about other sites that are celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s nice to know that we’re in the company of Facebook, FriendFeed, and Google by celebrating this esteemed day. Check out Google’s Pirate search. Brrrrriliant!
It’s not too late to join in the festivities. Head over to MyPunchbowl and bring your friends together tonight to celebrate this (important) day. Our resident party planning expert Penelope shares her favorite pirate party invitations but I’ve got mine (see below). Whatever you choose, have fun. Arrrrrr!
