There are new Strombo sites!

If you follow the Strombo show on Sunday nights you can interact with the show via Georges myspace page while listening in online, or tune in to CFRB (Toronto) and CJAD (Montreal).

The fun of interacting is not just about George reading your comments on the air, in between conversations with Bob, or arguments with Alex.
It is also about having a conversation with other listeners on the same page.
We got into the conversations we were having, and at some points, almost left the radio hosts to talk amongst themselves... The question was 'how can we make the conversation amongst the audience faster, better, last longer'... There were at least two separate projects started then, because of a need for George's fans to interact, interface, become friends, while of course including The Strombo show in the project. It's all about the love.

A forum was stated by Xiolla aka Karma and a chat room was started By Melanie.

Both ladies were present on the MySpace page and their sites were up and running officially for the first time last night to compliment the show.

I asked Melanie if she got a lot of encouragement from other myspacers.


Melanie says 'Definitely, within two or three minutes of posting the chat link on myspace, the room began to fill up. Everyone seemed to enjoy being able to interact not only with George, but with each other in real time rather than constantly refreshing myspace. Not that we stopped using myspace - it's important to keep leaving comments there - it was just a more "user-friendly" way to converse.'

If you are a good multitask-er I recommend you enjoy the chat room on Sunday nights.

It may have split the audience response a bit but George's myspace page seemed very active as more and more people are catching on to the fun of interacting with George, Bob and Alex on The Strombo show.

Karma's site The http://strombo.muze.ca forum is open for comments 24/7 but is active with folks watching The Hour and commenting on the show, Monday night through Thursday Night.
There are all kinds of other topics on the board to leave you two cents about please join in .
One small thing is you have to be 16... Some of those topics are adult in nature.

The two sites had a little chat in each others rooms later on that night and decided to merge and the
merged link is here.

That's great news.
I assume it's not for girls only.

Here's even more of George on YouTube.

Barbara said...

Men are very welcome on the site Allen! Women out number then men but I am sure you don't mind. :-)

Barbara said...

Who put that clip together Allen?
It was interesting, are there more like it?

Allan Sorensen said...

Barb, there are many, many clips on YouTube to enjoy of your boy George, I especially liked the part where someone taped George during the show answering questions by using their cellphone (?).

Barbara said...

We have the technology!
I could do that with my phone but the lighting is too low for a quality youtube production.
Thanks for the links.

Hey, Barbara W,
I had an interesting experience on your new Strombo Forum this morning. I had made several new postings, when someone named "Karma" came along and declared them all to be "crap" and moved them to the "General Crap" area.
Is that how it's going to be on this board?
That's quite the way to build someone's odd idea of goodwill, and a new reputation for yourself.
Could you explain me me what the rules are?
Because apparently free speech isn't one of them.
Is this kind of messing with people's work considered cool by you?
Is that the world you and George want for the rest of us?
