URIs to Ping

The following services will automatically be pinged/notified when you publish posts. Not when you edit previously published posts, as WordPress does by default.

NB: this list is synchronized with the original update services list.

These are the lastest actions performed by the plugin.

Soffe Fan Club - update

Posted by Soffe
July 10, 2007

The Soffe Fan Club has not only been a huge hit online, it has produced a major ad campaign that has grabbed the attention of every Seventeen and CosmoGirl reader. It has also produced a search for the next “Face of Soffe” through CosmoGirl. The contest will direct traffic to both sites and result in brand awareness throughout the junior market.

Through the Soffe Fan Club we have developed our myspace account which has been incredibly popular as well with the older juniors. Through myspace we can access the college market and also raise brand awareness.
