Beerhunter?

June 1st, 2008 | Author: Parker Mason

Twitter’s downtime doesn’t concern.

I’m a lot more worried about the status of another online service: Beerhunter.ca.

The site uses Google Maps and information about the closing and opening times of LCBO and Beer stores in Ontario in real time. I told my roommate about it the other day, and although I question why he was trying to buy beer on a Wednesday morning, he described the site as “the most amazing and useful site for Torontonians.”

According to this news release, the site got 30,000 unique visitors in its first three days based on word of mouth (I might be slightly biased, but I have no idea they would use “PR News Now” to issue their release).

Come back soon, Beerhunter.

What’s the deal with this website?

You're reading BlogCampaigning. We write about public relations, social media, video games, marketing and pretty much whatever we feel is important. We've been around since August, 2006

Jens "Schredd" Schroeder has been around since the beginning, and he mostly writes about video games.

Heather Morrison is our newest recruit, and she also blogs about life in the big city at Toronto Uncovered.

All of the content on this site is cleaned up by Adam Gorley, our resident copy-editor. He does a hell of a job, and he also writes a few posts for us now and then. Not a lot of people know this, but he is also a soul music DJ who goes by the name "Night Danger."

Parker Mason is the self-described Editor-in-Chief of BlogCampaigning and runs the site with an iron fist. He's also a pretty great guy - you should meet him sometime.

Espen Skoland started this website a few years ago so that he could get extra marks for his thesis, but he's pretty much given up on contributing. Still, we often refer to him as The Legendary Founder. He might be lazy, but he left us with a legacy.
