News from the PICNIC Network

More than 10.000 PICNIC Network members!
On 21 August in the afternoon, cheers abound at the PICNIC office. Someone out there in the wild wide world signed up for the PICNIC network, and that someone was number 10.000. We checked our database, who could it be? Justinas Beinorias who is blogging in Lithuania? Ayman Abdel Nour of the All4Syria online bulletin? Dr. Wolf-Dieter Ernst who researches performance and mobile networks from Munich? A warm welcome to all 10.000 of you!

Now, everyone out there, if you all invite ONE additional person to sign up this week, we'll have 20.000 in no time. Let's try. And if we succeed, the first drink at Picnic is on us, promise. So, who will you mail today about PICNIC'08?

Google PICNIC and Be Surprised
Did you try and find a nice picnic spot recently, a place to spend a leisurely summer afternoon with a basket full of cold meats, tossed salads and bubbly wine? Ha! You ended up at the PICNIC’08 website, did you not? Indeed, the PICNIC network is now the number ONE search result for ‘PICNIC’ in almost every European country, and we have our web site development partner MediaMatic and search partner ClearSense to thank for that.

Network of Professional Bon Vivants
PICNIC works with many dedicated marketing partners, that spread the word about PICNIC to their specific audience. Today we meet a new social network that is spreading like wildfire in Amsterdam. Sparkx is a Dutch start-up that allows people to share companies they love, holiday destinations they're still dreaming of and invite friends for their favorite events.The network also makes it possible to build your personal 'My Sparkx Quality Guide', like a little black book online. Read all about it in a short interview with founders Andries Voskamp and Suzan Fluitman.

Using only a template, clean water and a spraying system, GreenGraffiti washes a communication message out of the dirt on surfaces in cities throughout the world while giving back to the local community.
