Great Job Guys!

A group of OSN members, led by Dancenham, have begun an epic undertaking of getting a famous athlete involved with OneSeason. It all started when…here, we’ll let Hamface tell the story…

Two months ago I did not have the slightest idea what in the hell Twitter was. PDXPup set up an OSN Twitter account (@1seasonnation) to send out market info along with IPO Alerts, Are You Fan Enough answers, and her random attempts at humor. Now we may be on the brink of something that could kick start our own OneSeason marketing campaign.

On the night of Wednesday July 30, 2009.. We had our first real “Superstar”
to reply to a OneSeason Tweet. I sent @OGOchoCinco, which is Chad OchoCincos Twitter Tag, the following message:

“@OGOchoCinco - we need a 4 letter stock symbol for u. Should we just vote for OCHO? www.oneseason.com“

Which was replied to within minutes with “@dancenham yes I like it”

My first thought was that I better get to the bathroom asap because
i may have just sprayed Hersey squirts through my man briefs.. But I was able to keep myself together and I quickly emailed Bullpup. His response wasn’t what i expected - “hahaha kick ass!”

OCHO has over 78,000 followers. He rarely, and i mean rarely adds the users name to his Tweet when replying to questions. But my name was in there. Meaning that if only half of his followers went and checked what he was replying to, thats 39,000 unique users saw the shameless plug of www.oneseason.com. I wrote back to BP and through his second email i sensed the excitement. We may be on to something!

The news story went up on OSN Homepage and then the VOTE UP OCHO thread was started. He has jumped up all the way to #3 (could even  be #1 by the time this prints) on the IPO Request List.

OCHO also likes to do live streams of himself taking questions through a chatbox. This is all done Live and Unedited. Myself & RealityCheck
(along with others) pulled up his LiveStream and began to not so much flood the chat room with OS questions..We were actually able to have him mention “OneSeason.Com” twice. At this time there were over 1300 people viewing his stream. He uses the website ustream.tv and his streams are all under the title The Chad Ocho Cinco Show. If you are having trouble finding it, just pull up his Twitter page and follow the links.

We have to keep having him see the address so it sticks in his head. OCHO loves attention, and he would love nothing better than
to be the #1 WR on OS. If we can get him on the site.. just ONCE.. we could turn this thing on its head.

So all in all, OSN is in the middle of a large scale effort to get Chad OchoCinco IPO’d ASAP on OneSeason. After the IPO reset, he will probably be number 1. Imagine Chad’s excitement when Dancenham twitters him again that he is number 1 on the IPO request list, followed by all of the OSN members in his live stream chat room letting him know. It could be a very interesting weekend.

Have a great one, everyone!

OneSeason Nation moderator, aka the CEO of Contests, aka Ham, aka the Notorius P.I.G. has twittered to, and got a response from NFL star Chad “OCHO CINCO” Johnson. Ham twittered the flamboyant number 85, suggesting the ticker name for the wide reciever be “OCHO” when he finally makes his debut on OneSeason. Ocho Cinco replied back to Ham with a short but sweet “I like it”.

Is this the real Ocho Cinco? 70,000+ twitter followers of OGOchoCinco might suggest that it is. Great job ham! Who else will get a response from an athlete on Twitter? We know they are aware and OneSeason has been contacted by agents of certain athletes soliciting possibilities of endorsements. Things are getting interesting as we ramp up for football season!
