In the ever-growing quest to bring the JREF to a wider audience, I have volunteered to run a MySpace site promoting the Foundation, the forum, TAM and all associated goodness. I'm very happy to report that this idea received the blessing of the powers that be.

The preliminary version of the site is now up and running. You can find it at http://profile.myspace.com/theamazingrandi
The Swift Bulletin will be added to the profile weekly in the blogs. Last week's bulletin is up there already to get us underway.

There is much work to be done on the profile still, and I'm open to all suggestions and contributions from forum members to help it on it's way. I already have a lot of content in the queue to be included, but if you have anything you'd like see added, reworded, corrected etc. please message the profile or PM me - I can't guarantee to keep an eye on this thread forever. Help me build RandiSpace V1.1 and beyond!

Plus, of course, if you're already on myspace then please add the profile to your friends list and save it to your Top Friends - there's a large community out there to try and reach so every add is valuable.

Thanks,
Brett.

You could put up a fake ad for a "spiritualist/clairvoyant" and patiently explain to any marks who bite that there is no Tooth Fairy...

Wow! Randi has Carl Sagan in his Friends network - this almost makes me want to get a Myspace account.

Very nice site!

Although I think the Zodiac sign should read: FSM (or something actually funny).

Yes. I'm looking into either disabling or humourising that function at some point.

Thanks everyone who's shown an interest so far - looks like I'm gonna be busy.
Excellent.
 
Claus and I were planning, months back, on shooting a series of short documentary clips covering common topics and making them available to the public, where they could be used, since I live so close to the JREF. I would have been doing the shooting though, while he did the editing. (Claus hates shooting. :vk:)

One of the most interesting and useful video clips Randi has done was the classroom astrological profile demonstration. My sister had an interest in astrology, frequently correlating my personality traits with my sign, when I explained the classroom demonstration Randi did, and she was very surprised and turned about. I think there are dozens of such notions that could go up in a puff of smoke with smart, effective demonstrations like these, and the world would be better for it. A similer series of "fooled you" educational material on how cold and hot reading can yield a result no different than guesswork, yet seem to be meaningful, would be excellent to throw into the public awareness to start off with.

I think this is outside my remit at the moment and besides, Remie has a very nice MySpace page doing something remarkably similar already. http://profile.myspace.com/skeptical_analysis

Any links to downloadable videos will be much appreciated. I've been having some trouble uploading video content so far but will persevere.
 
From the site:

"Who I'd like to meet:
Just one person with a supernatural or paranormal ability.
Just once, ever."


And yet somehow, Carl Sagan is in your friends network, and also says 'thanks for the add'...

Hey, I thought of doing that already six months ago.

Hmm - I'm tuning in...

Something's coming through from the ether...



My goodness, you DID think of that 6 months ago!

Thanks. I only mentioned it because of an ad that appeared in our local freebie rag for a "Natural Born Psychic" -- I kid you not.

Here's what "Milorad" claims to do:

Gypsy Tarot Card and Psychic Reading Expert
(Italics and other embellishments his.)

Removing Curses and Restoring Peace of Mind

Is Your Relationship Breaking Down? I Will Bring Back Your Loved One Or Help You Find True Love ( -- this text is surrounded by hearts :D )

Aura and Depression Healer

Biotherapist

Removing Bad Luck

Evil Eye and Black Magic

Happiness * Business * Marriage * Money ( -- the asterisks are hearts :D )

You Have Questions? Milorad Has Answers

and so on...

Need one say more?

Because some MySpace members might do searches within the website, I suggest adding words like dowsing, dowser, psychic, vanPraag, clairvoyant, and such.

I don't know, I tend to believe a giant eye surrounded by clouds with light rays shooting out of its arse. :D
 
The best way to promote on Myspace is in the Top 8. What you want to do is swap top 8 spots with other good hitting pages.

Shoot over a friend request and note to www.myspace.com/overmaniscoming

and we will swap a top 8 spot with you!
