GoDaddy is Listening: Online-Video Contest Case Study
ByNalts
I’ve written many times about what separates a good online-video contest from the myriad of failures. I’d like to add an important attribute that has been demonstrated recently by GoDaddy: listening and adapting.

A haunted trailer in beautiful Topanga Canyon. Pastoral. I’ve lived in worse hellholes. Much worse. This is nothing next to The Sunset Pacific on east Hollywood Boulevard. Now THAT was scary.

What an entertaining, yet disturbing series. I fully believe, though, that marquisdejolie knows what he’s talking about, and probably has lived in places far worse!

Spoooooky.
