At Fifty Star Owl even the Ads are Great

While various writers are considering various venues, I have been firing up the FiftyStarOwl twitter account to find out what's being talked about here in Philadelphia. Currently I am only using it to announce new full-blown articles here at the website.

Full of the pride of ownership, I looked at my site a few minutes ago, and saw a fascinating ad: for Icelandic Nightlife. I like to imagine that it's very chic, blonde, and eager to enjoy hydrothermal energy. I can't click on it (clicking on your own website's ads is a no-no), so I do a little search and up it pops here: http://www.reykjavikrocks.is/ I like to think that if someone was visiting Philadelphia, (or perhaps is a Philadelphia expat pining for home) that my website here would give them a little reminder.

New articles are on the way. Until then, perhaps you'd like to revisit a night at the Walnut Room.

People who present pictures

As regular readers have undoubtedly noticed here at the Fifty Star Owl, this web site doesn't have any pictures.

This is by design.

Even though a fellow denizen of the night might be fairly well described by one of the authors, it's still not as clear as a picture. I look forward to sending intrepid writers into burlesque shows and gentleman's clubs, but pictures might be too racy for my little operation here.

But, as you may have noticed with yesterday's post, I have no such concern about linking to other people's work, such as the great galleries at http://philly.cities2night.com/ As you'll see, they do great work.

Fifty Star Owl Business Update

So, Fifty Star Owl, my website devoted to paying writers for first-hand reports of Philadelphia nightlife, has now been in operation for about a month.

As a result, I want to thank all of the readers who have taken the time to read the stories it's been my privilege to bring to you. And of course the writers too, who each have contributed exciting stories I've been proud to bring to you.

Something I've personally found very interesting are all of the international visits. I would never have realized how much interest is out there yearning to learn more about Philadelphia's nightlife. Indonesia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines and even Azerbaijan have all stopped by to read about what it's like to go out here. I hope you can come visit and see all the city has to offer, but until then, I hope you enjoy reading about the part of the world I call home.

Regardless of where you are reading from, I want to invite you to comment on or hit the +1 button at the bottom of this (or any other) post you find interesting. Don't be discouraged if your're the first one to comment, at every party someone has to break the ice.

I also wanted to bring the new twitter feed to your attention: it's at the very bottom of the page. So far I've only used it to let people know when new posts are up.

Finally, as a very junior entrepreneur, I know of no good way to convey how amazing it is to watch the advertising revenue come in. Thank you considering the advertising messages you see around you. I genuinely appreciate your support.
