The Third Session of Cif Talk - When Internet's Mobile

Here is the article on the Third Session of Cif Talk. More will come soon, so that you know Who Is Cif is for real :D

Friday night I've held the 3rd session of Cif Talk, with Steven Lamb.

I couldn't really get to speak to him during my time at work, so I said: Know what? I can even do this PR job from the bar :))

And that's what I did, I took my Google Android Tablet with me in town, I've called the owner of Cleo Cafe and she said: Yes, we have a hotspot ! And there I went.

I talked a little to my friends and then went to the bar downstairs to catch the Wi-Fi on my device and @twitter awaited. So I finally managed to get in touch with Steven and we talked about his projects a little bit, to see where Cif2 and the Prizes might benefit him.

The website I saw he had is not something he would like to continue working on and he told me he really felt like trying to do something online. "I'll put my thinking Cap on", is what he said. Well i told him it was no rush and he could think of a very great project to develop, because we're there for him, to help him build an online presence for the project and get some exposure to it.

He was excited of all this and I can't wait to see what he'll come up with !

Not the most "regular" place for PR activity, but it was actually great ;)

The Second Session of Cif Talk - Artsy on the edges

Florin Muresan has written about the second session of Cif Talk that went down on his wall, on Facebook.

We are very happy that until now the winners were really pleased with the Prizes we give.

Read all about it:

"

Yesterday morning, we had the Second Session of Cif Talk, with Janice McGrory. She is a very cool mom and a great person. She's actually one of the first persons with whom I could really have great conversations on Twitter.

Speaking to her before, I already knew something about what she might want to do further on, but I wanted to make sure I was right.

Some few months ago, I read a great piece of poetry written by her. What I liked about that piece was that it had strength and it managed to pierce one's inner self with the neatly placed words. And a few weeks ago she presented me parts of a first draft for the novel she was working on.

It is a very promising novel and her story telling is truly compelling. So I guessed she would want to use the prizes we have for her to build an online presence for her novel and to get it out there to readers all over the world. Because Cif2 will also be a place for artists, to help promote themselves without having to pay huge amounts of money.

The Cif Talk went on. She told me I wasn't adding any pressure or anything :P hehe... maybe I was, but I just had to, I really want her to write the novel, it is going to be awesome and I have much faith in her and in the fact that she will come up with a thoroughly enjoyable story.

And then the whole Prize Giving Talk, turned into a little Artsy talk about character development and places to use in a story.

You can read the whole conversation if you want, it's on my wall @facebook. (http://www.facebook.com/florin.muresan)

The First Session of Cif Talk

Hello, hello, everyone !

I've just finished the first Session of Cif Talk and I'm really excited and happy about how it all went.

This session took place on Facebook and the winner I've talked to was Sabina Cornovac ! She's a great person. She's a PR executive and also a PR and Advertising student at Universitatea din Bucuresti.

She was very curoius regarding what sort of prizes she'll get, so I told her right away and when she heard what they were she was even more glad she had won at the Who Is Cif contest.

Sabina had a project in mind, for helping her familly with their small business, but no one could help her out. And that's where we came in. We are going to help her build an online presence for that small business. I've told her how great she will be able to promote the website because of our Builder's enhanced SEO possibilities. I told her of how she will be taught to build a great website. And I've also told her what awesome products we'll be able to provide her.

She thanked us very much and we're very glad we can help her out with our prizes.

You see? I've told you that we give awesome prizes, not just random prizes for prizes sake :P

Winners of the First Round !

The moment you've all been waiting for has finally come !

Here is the list with all the winners of the first round of Who Is Cif. As stands written on the header of the contest's blog, the prizes will help both your Professional and Personal life.

The prizes will consist in websites with/without blogs and with many possibilities and stuff to include, whether you are an artist, a business owner, a gamer or whatever. You will be guided through the whole process, so that your online presence will become trully well known.

That's why I, Florin Muresan, PR at Cifnet LTD., will contact you and will talk to you about your future plans, to be sure you'll get just what you need. And remember: you WON and that means it's all for free ;)

Starting Next Thursday: Cif Talk ! (more details about that event soon)

And the WINNERS are:


1) Steven Lamb (@lamby118) with " create impossible futures "

2) Matt Sicotte with " Collective International Friendships "

3) Sabina Cornovac with " CIF is me, is you, is everyone :) CIF is live, is having fun and is living la vida loca! "


These first 3 were our favorites and here is why:

Steven was surprising, because the first tagline for cif2.net was supposed to be "Creating Independent Future Networks", so he really came close to it and we liked it.

Matt managed to give another very close meaning to CIF. CIF is going to be International indeed, and a great collection or network of Friends and it intends to build friendship.

And Sabina did not really say a C I F as in suggestions for what the initials stand for, but she gave a really insightful description of who is CIF. As Yahoo stated recently, there is a new power in this world.. and that power is YOU !

Cif is going to be very user-oriented and user-friendly and it will also try to help you be as independent as possible, without having to pay designers, content management, hosting, etc. And the list does not stop here, but you will hear more about this some other time.


The other Winners who also gave great and funny suggestions were:

4) Janice McGrory with " Cookie Infamous Funster "

5) @CynthiaY29 with " Clever Ill-mannered Fox "

6) @socialapril with " Cynical Introvertite Furball "

7) Doina Pirau with " Complex Independent Female "

8) @LanaBee_x with " Cocky Ignorant Friends "

9) @irenescool with " Cool Ironmaiden Fans "

10) @RKOedYourBrain with " Cornflakes in Florida " and " Cornelius Ignacio Florentine "

11) @heerbol with " Cool Information Friends "
