Here’s a broadcast that Tyrese sent out last night and some really sweet responses from his fans. (click the play button on the banner to the left to listen)

It made us really happy to hear that his fans are inspired and motivated by his messages…and to know that he’s using SayNow for something more than just another “celebrity fan club.”

It’s rare to find people like him who care to the extent that he does and who use their influence to have a positive impact on other people’s lives. It makes all of our work here worthwhile!

(You can listen to more of his broadcasts and messages from other fans over here: http://saynow.com/blackty)

UPDATE: A couple folks have asked if they can get Tyrese’s message player above for their MySpace page…so if you want it, copy and paste the embed code below.

For those of you who want to know how many fans you have on SayNow, we’ve recently implemented a new feature that lets you find out on your phone. Just send a text message to 729669 (SAYNOW) with the word stats in the body of the message and we’ll send you a message that looks like the following (except with your numbers inserted)

Fans: 11241. New fans since last bcast: 1121. Last bcast listened to 11014 times.

The first number tells you how many fans you have (the total number of people who’ve called or left you messages). The second number tells you how many new fans have signed up for your broadcasts since your last one and the third number tells you how many times your last broadcast was listened to.
