(based solely on my personal observations)
APPLICATIONS TO THE FIESTA MOVEMENT
——————————————————————–
about 2,011 (The polldaddy.com site that the Fiesta Movement used for the application had a public RSS feed of the number of surveys/applications complete)
I have no idea where they got the claimed 3,300 applications.
TWITTER
————–
@FordFiesta – 540 followers
I would estimate there were about 20-30 people were using twitter to create excitement and discuss the Fiesta and Fiesta Movement, another 20-50 simply used it to promote their own videos.
YOUTUBE
—————

413 ‘favorited’ by fiestamovement account (videos w/ matching applications?)

WEBSITES
—————–
I think there were about 10 websites created for the contest, and another 20 people promoted through their preexisting websites.
You should do a study that shows winners with Big Racks that cant drive a stick. Jillhanner winning is a joke who won because her video showed of the rack.

I couldn’t agree more. I mean seriously…the green screen didn’t even look good, the keying was awful and to make the video even worse, you could barely even make out what ‘the voice’ was saying.
…and she tweeted this morning she can’t drive stick. Go figure. I’m still hoping for a call.
entered my website wrong above. sorry.

I’d been watching the vid count on YouTube as well as those following on Twitter, and noticed the numbers not matching up. I wonder if there were issues with apps getting submitted somehow? I got an error when I did mine, but they told me they did indeed have it.
Of course, I think I blew it myself given that I had my own issues and my vid URL on the app didnt acutally match the vid URL on YouTube. Its still been fascinating to watch the whole process and contest!
Very well done. We have an ‘informal’ poll on our site to tell us what you think of the known results so far. http://www.followthefiesta.com
I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that Ford just wanted some cute guys and gals to make YouTube vids for some quick hip PR.
followthefiesta – already filled out the pole. I think there were some good deserving choices, others I dissagre with, and I imagine there are alot of other “winners” who have already been notified aren’t even on twitter.
-they call me ‘Mr. Bitterness’
Like Oh my God, its like no way. Like Had I known that like Ford was like doing a Ditz campaign by a bunch of like Ditzy like tec people like. Theres this one winner who like has like 4000 friends. I wonder if Like you know any one follows here because of what is actually on her mind and like rather they just like her um like big cans. I like thought that like Ford was looking for Internet savy people who actually like can actually speak. Seems like they just like big Airbags. Like Oh my God.
Sorry I was trying to talk like some of the winners. Like Jillhanner has 4000 twitter friends (3990 are 14 year old boys) How many do you think are her friends because they like what she has to say and listen to her opinion. Or just like looking at her Rack bounce. Its sad the winners are mindless airheads that should be selling at the Gap not Ford.
