Biting On LinkBait

by Jeremy Schoemaker on February 7, 2008 · 65 comments

Bannerblindness did some cool link baiting having their artist do some sketches bloggers. I’ll bite:

The picture is actually from pubcon where there is a pic of me and actress/model Melissa Angles. Which brings up another interesting topic I get questions about from a pic in my photo gallery (click for bigger image):

Which was not meant to be a picture of her chest but what I saw on her badge. Her company actually says ChooMoney.com which I think was supposed to be a combination of Chow and Shoemoney Pretty funny.

Yowza!

I think ‘Shoestradamus’ needs to predict that there will soon be a new ‘most viewed photo’.

Wow! Thanks Shoe for posting our video. We really appreciate it, and we hope you enjoyed the video.

Great optical illusion.
You look intently at the picture,and after three or four minutes…you see a badge!

I sure she wanted to use ChowMoney.com but someone already had that domain. The pic on ChowMoney is no where near as good as ChooMoney.com

HAH! ChooMoney sounds better ;)

I don’t understand why your wife doesn’t slap you for putting up all these rude pictures of women.

I don’t know if we need to see a bigger pic of Melissa. I think there’s probably too much of her there anyway.

22 Shawn February 8, 2008 at 8:39 am

I guess she was using her personal assets to accentuate her badge. She definitly understands design principles. It’s kind of like using arrows to direct the eye to the important message in an ad. LOL!

Actually, I chatted w/ Melissa at the Wynn bar (she’s very nice). She bought “choomoney.com” b/c she intends to build out a site about shoes. Apparently, she has an affection for shoes by Jimmy Choo….sorry guys.

a myspace site? I think I would have just left this question unanswered. maybe the forwarded domain should have been hoochiemoney.com

26 Hustle Strategy February 8, 2008 at 10:10 am

seriously, wtf, I really don’t know what shoe is talking about. is this like his 5 can’t live without websites or something?

Reply

27 Hustle Strategy February 8, 2008 at 10:12 am

i think that was the purpose of the post, she made him explain himself, so he made up some bs about a badge. haha great one shoe…

badge? what?

yeah okay you were taking a picture of her badge, uh huh, i was born yesterday. :)

wouldnt it be chowmoney if it was shoemoney and johnchow?

Reply

33 Linda February 8, 2008 at 12:14 pm

The words choomoney.com on her badge is very difficult to see. I don’t think that was the main focus, right?

34 Linda February 8, 2008 at 12:19 pm

The words ChooMoney.com is very difficult to see on her badge. That’s not the main focus of this picture, right?

her monitor isn’t connected to a computer, so don’t worry about it. if you check the gallary, shoe has more than this pic of the choomoney…

You baited me with that picture.

40 RacerX February 8, 2008 at 4:49 pm

I really do get buying the mis-spelling versins of names. But the faux combo versions are really an effort to play off the success of others, that I dont whink would work. I think John Cow worked because he has a good site, and Google slapped Chow.

I don’t think I would eat at “McPizza Bell” but maybe it is just me.

Look where the center of the picture is…Not the badge :)

To be fair to Shoe or any one at a trade show, I have hired models for booth duty and they always have their measurements on their call sheet. They are hired to attract people to the booth.
As a trade show tip: The old saying goes, the prettier the girls, the more likely it is vaporware! If you see a bunch of engineers in the booth, they probably have a cool product, and spent all of their seed money on the product!

Nice linkbait… She has nice boobies, btw.

If this (and this) is her then I can understand the missing face. Still a great photo. Good angle and lighting.
