SomeoneYouKnow.IsRemarkable.com…Elton John

Happy Birthday, Sir Elton.  He is 61 years old today.  He is several time zones ahead of me, so I guess this is officially a belated birthday message. 

I think it is interesting that his first single to hit big on the US charts (a year after his debut album in 1969) was “Your Song.”  Because his performance style (and other songs of this period) were so flamboyant and energetic, it would seem strange that this subdued and tender song would be his first hit in the States.

I guess it goes to show that if you are Remarkable, people take notice.  If you know someone who is remarkable, let me know and we can feature them here on this blog.  Or you can take matters into your own hands and send them a mini-tribute at www.isAbsolutelyRemarkable.com.

Rock on!

The Year of the Million Smiles

We are nearly 3 months into the new year and we are tracking nicely towards sending a million smiles through mini-tributes.  As you may recall, you can send a free mini-tribute at www.isAbsolutelyRemarkable.com.  You personalize it with your recipients name and they are sent an invitation to view their personal greeting.  It is sure to bring a smile to their face!

Here are what people are saying about these mini-tributes:

• “That just made my day! In fact, it put a smile on my face that I am sure will last all weekend.”
• “Here is a little Monday morning pick-me-up for you.”
• “How did you get my name in there?  How cool is that.  Loved it!”
• “That is the slickest thing I have seen.  I sent it to three other people.  Thanks so much!”

If you haven’t done it yet, sent a free mini-tribute today and help us spread the word!  They are a great alternative to e-cards for birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, or thank yous.  Before the year is out, I believe we can send 1 million smiles!

Someone you know absolutely remarkable?

Don’t wait another second!  Tell them with a mini-tribute.

Creative Outlet Labs announced today the Absolutely Remarkable mini-tribute.  This new, free application allows you to create a custom, animated mini-tribute honoring someone and view it, send it yourself, or let us send it for you.  If you know someone who is absolutely remarkable, you must check out this fun site.

While you are at it, encourage your friend to sign up for the beta of Remarkable by Creative Outlet Labs.  If you like Absolutely Remarkable mini-tributes, you will love the full-blown application coming soon.  Sort of like a movie studio will issue a trailer to build excitement for their new film, we are doing the same, building excitement for Remarkable. 

Have fun using this and sharing it!
