This is pretty sweet - Omarion had a contest going for the last 2 weeks and called the winner on Valentine’s Day! He sent this out as a broadcast to his fans.

(oh and the photo above has nothing to do with the call…it was just something I found on his MySpace page :-)

Cassidy just called the round 3 winner of his rap battle and broadcasted the conversation! You can listen to it below

He used our Connect Live feature to call the winner Lil Chugga. (Right now this feature is something you have to request from us, so if you’re interested in talking to your fans while keeping your number private, let us know)

Here’s the winner…

Edison Glass is one of our favorite bands on SayNow. They’ve got a smaller audience than a lot of the major label artists who’ve signed up with us, but we think this band is going places….not just because they’re really talented musicians, but also because they’re genuinely reaching out and connecting with their audience.

Recently, they’ve been trying our Connect Live feature and it sounds like they’re having fun with it!

So, hands down the number one support request we get from everyone who calls or emails us at SayNow is “Can you tell _________to call me back?” (insert any one of our artists in the blank) We hear this almost everyday, so a couple weeks ago we started experimenting with a feature that lets you press a button while listening to a message on your phone and connect LIVE to the person you’re listening to. The other person’s phone will ring but no one’s phone number will be revealed in the process.

Lil Fizz, one of the first major artists to use SayNow, tested this with a couple of his fans. Truth be told, it wasn’t a smooth process…some of his fans were a little shocked…and speechless. Literally speechless. In one case, a fan’s father answered the phone. That was kind of awkward.

After a couple mistarts, we’re happy to report that Lil Fizz finally connected with by far his BIGGEST fan on SayNow, Ms. Giggles (who’s left him hundreds of messages). I’m not gonna even tell you how many she left after this.

Anyways, we’ve still got some kinks to iron out and plan on coming up with ways for fans to help decide who gets a call back. If you’ve got some suggestions for us, let us know!
