tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
oooooooo this was a good idea!! Oh oh I hope he comes...it's like waiting for santa!!! Sorry I'm sure I made your heart skip a beat when you saw a new comment but I was so excited! -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
I have some ideas though. Like you put cookies and milk for santa we need to find big boss' cookies and milk.....maybe if we added Boobs to the subject or like if we left and viewed it a million times over and over again and got the view up to like 800! Or maybe if we just keep posting and get the posts up to like a zillion. I bet people would join in and then he would have to come!! Oh my I just realized something, what if it's a her not a him!! That would be great!! But then the boobs idea probably wouldn't work!! I really hope this works!! -
destinydiva said on Aug 02, 2007....
lol tizzy...... okay...lets go for it.....
shall we beg awhile first?? up the comments a bit??
please please please please please soulcast :-) xxxxx
ok tizzy your turn :-)

destinydiva said on Aug 02, 2007....
or maybe tag it like you said with something really contraversal???
how abouts we guess who soulcast big boss is????
I'm thinking....... hmmmm he is youngish..... maybe 30?? a he......
but with a wife that puts lots of input in to it????
what do you think tiz??
-
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
ummm....yeah def. I always thought of big boss as a guy but as they say behind every good man there is a better woman! Of course there is! Um....contraversal...lets see....I bet he's seen everything under the sun so we have to come up with a good one.... -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
guessing game of big boss... do you think he has more than one screen name....could he be someone we know??? -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
Oh wait... I forgot to beg...sorry it's not something I do often....ahem....Pretty pretty please with sugar on top....pretty pretty please with whip cream, rainbow sprinkles and a big fat cherry on top????? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE!!! -
destinydiva said on Aug 02, 2007....

tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
tee hee I just noticed the boobies in the tag.... -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
maybe it's bigger than we think....like area 51 big, maybe it's not a he or a she but an almighty "being"?? -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
so wait a minute, you know how to do this....you just used your powers on the internet guy.......give it your best shot...they eyelash thing is a good start :) -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
back to the guessing game....ok a regular soulcaster.....lets see who knows a lot about the site...but the problem is, if we guess, do you think they will fess up? -
evil_twin said on Aug 02, 2007....
I don't know if you'll get a response from the BIG BOSS, but here is what it says in the 'help' section:
How do I get featured on the homepage?
There is no real rule or way to do this. All of the featured blogs became "featured" organically, or by virtue of their popularity, and the featured posts change daily. These are posts that have many viewers and lots of "buzz" surrounding their content. Generally, these posts are about a popular topic that is favored by a large portion of the SoulCast community.
So that is their official word on the subject. And since I already addressed this on your other post, I'll just copy/paste my comment again, because in my Soulcast 'studies' this is what I've found to be very true.
It's true that the more views and comments you have, the more likely you'll be featured. But on slower days when there aren't a lot of new posts with excessive comments, I believe it goes by your popularity. If you have a 100 subscribers, and someone else only has 50, your post will probably make it to the featured page first.
That just seems to be the way Soulcast prioritizes things. It has nothing to do with the user themselves. And I've also noticed that a post with fewer comments/views has a better chance to be featured if someone who is 'popular' has commented to it. It's an automated system that searches for key words. Your tags also make a huge difference too. If you use a very popular tag, your chances are better to be featured ahead of others.

PS: I tagged it sex and love because those two tags are good ones to get featured! :-P

tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
I have a post with about 750 views and it was never featured, personally I think it sucked because I was bored and couldn't remember what I was going to say, so it's not like it was super good and I'm complaining but still....popular....750 views....no feature. I had another one that was featured and didn't get nearly as many views!! -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
I really like the very contreversal subject tag. It's clever. Maybe it should be really really very super contreversal subject. :) -
tizzygirl said on Aug 02, 2007....
ok it's time for me to go home or actually go work out then home so I will have to check on this in the morning because I am dying to hear from Mr. Soulcast himself!! Good luck!! Hopefully others will help with the views and the posts! I think it might work!! G'night!! :) -

silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
trust me, you don't want to get soulcast replying to your comments. that account only ever comments when there's a problem--look no farther than ladygamer's most popular post.

tizzygirl said on Aug 03, 2007....
:( I came to the post first to see if there was a messege from Mr./Mrs. Soulcast and there was not *pout*I really hope they don't only comment when there is a problem!! I was hoping for a hello--or something!! -
destinydiva said on Aug 03, 2007....
silver he posted on mr7's post and there wasnt a problem....so I'm living in hope :-)
I'm just having fun x maybe mr soulcast will take pity and just say hi?? ...my fingers are still crossed :-)

PassionTraveler said on Aug 03, 2007....
Methinks using SoulCast in your tags is part of the formula, in addition to subscribers, popularity, etc.
ALSO, methinks a few regulars are actually SoulCaster employees in disguise. Not sure if it's true, but I suspect SilverWhisper, and Zayda and/or Creative Woman are a part of the employed-by-SC conspiracy. No offense meant if perceived an offensive presumption or if not true. You three are just so accommodating and helpful to the newbies, or anyone for that matter, it seemed a logical leap.
But alas, SC - the big boss - whoever you are - did indeed step up and answer your request. Kinda like God directly answering your prayers. Whooo hoooo!
I feel blessed! Gives me hope that the REAL Big Boss in the sky will answer a few of my own!
Okay GOD, here's my list. Get crackin!Attracting My Desires

silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
PT: while i normally don't speak for other soulcasters, i think on this particular subject i can speak for both zayda and CW.
we're helpful to newcomers b/c we want people to get the most out of being here. we've all three of us (as well as other soulcasters) always been like that. :>

mirrorimage said on Aug 03, 2007....
Ed, you didn't actually deny it though... :)you can tell us.... lol -
silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
in which case: no, i'm not a soulcast employee. i really don't think either CW or zayda are, either. :>
ed -
destinydiva said on Aug 03, 2007....
total honest.... i wonder if you are.... but cw and zayda...... nope defo dont think thay are.... but then im just learning ....... i maybe way out!! I take your word.... :-)

silverwhisper said on Aug 03, 2007....
while i know the answer to the question, i don't think it my place to answer for either of those lovely ladies. :>

PassionTraveler said on Aug 03, 2007....
Ah, well, they'd do well to hire you Ed. You & the afore-mentioned Z & CW rock here in SC.

mirrorimage said on Aug 03, 2007....
Ed... I actually thought you were on the wrong side of the country...but I wasn't sure.destinydiva: I'm sure someone from SC must post stuff.....how could you work around it all day and not do it.... but I'm pretty sure it is not Zayda or CW.... Secret is on the wrong side of the country.... maybe you should take a poll and see who is in the LA area? Isn't that where SC is located? or am i completely off? -
destinydiva said on Aug 04, 2007....
I agree with passion traveler!
mirror .... they wouldnt even have to be where its based... they could be hired and work from there pc anywhere in the world!! Its easy i think to work out who isnt soulcast..... but there is a few im struggling to decide they defo dont work for soulcast!!
im not really fussed anyways.... i got a hi!!!! that will do me :-) dont really mind who they are :-)
that was good fun... it kept my spirits high all day playing this :-) thank you everyon for joining in xxx
-
silverwhisper said on Aug 04, 2007....
PT, thank you. :>
MI: um...you're not gonna smoke out whoever it is that way. if he or she pokes around SC, then isn't he or she gonna know to anticipate such a question?

well destiny I'm glad that we did it but I give yo most the credit for coming up with a great plan!! I did a little victory dance when it happened!! On the subject of secret soulcast employees I do wonder about some bloggers....I fear it will always be a mystery tho!! -
Zayda said on Aug 10, 2007....
I just saw this post and the the comment by PT. No, I am not an employee of Soulcast. That employed by SC conspiracy of which you speak, PT, is a crock of BS.
