I Am Joe Jaffe

GeoffJaffe

Head crayonista Joe Jaffe pulled the diva move and stood-up 80 brilliant marketing bloggers at Blogger Social. He feigned illlness.  In playful vengeance we auctioned his name tag for the rights to be Joe Jaffe (photo by Shashi).

Livingston Communications won at a well priced $500.  Ahem:

Did I tell you my podcast receives two million downloads? Want to hang out on my private Second Life island? I’ll give you a free copy of my book “Join the Conversation” (although I didn’t), but only if you review it. Enough about me, what do you think about me?!?

Like that?  More on Twitter for the remainder of the day.

Proceeds benefited the Frozen Pea Fund for breast cancer research (See Buzz Bin interview).  Frozen Pea Fund members Connie Reece, Cathleen Rittereiser and members of Susan Reynolds‘ family received a $30,000 check last night from crayon and ooVoo, a result of my ooVoo day (in which Livingston Communications also participated, yielding $1500 of the larger sum).

nowjaffe Moving forward, I Am Joe Jaffe won’t end here.  Several of us agreed, it’s too priceless for just one. Let the “I Am Joe Jaffe for a Day” meme begin!

Here’s the deal, receivers of the Joe Jaffe name tag agree to donate $25 to Frozen Pea Fund, create a ridiculous photo and blog post in the spirit of “I am Joe Jaffe,” and FedEx the tag to the next blogger who agrees to be I Am  Joe Jaffe for a day.  Tomorrow I will FedEx the Joe Jaffe name tag to Cam Beck, who has agreed to be the next Joe Jaffe.

Overall, BloggerSocial was a blast. It was really great to meet so many of my heroes who write outstanding thought leadership and fun posts every week.
