FootSoldiers! Rise up!

Jeanna has a message for you all, directly from Corey Vidal and the Switchfoot team:

I just got off the phone with Corey Vidal (the dude with the briefcase in the video AND Switchfoot's new official YouTube dude) and we've been talking promotion for this video. Let me fill you in... Redlight (Switchfoot's management) wants to get this video to get AS MANY HONORS AS IT POSSIBLY CAN WITHIN THE FIRST 24 HOURS OF POSTING. Why? Because if the video gets high (or the highest) honors for the day, it will be posted on the YouTube home page, which means THOUSANDS of people who might never have seen it, are going to see it... and hopefully... like it.

And we want YOU GUYS to help us out. Think about... we... Corey, Redlight, me, Chris (the other star of the video), and YOU GUYS are actually helping to shape the success and future of "Mess of Me". We're dictating how this is going to go. We are actually TANGIBLY helping Switchfoot.

So here is the plan... and NOTE! all of this HAS to be done within the next 24 hours!

1) View the video - The more views the better! HOWEVER! DO NOT use GhostMouse or some other automated form to rack up more views. It won't work and Corey could get in big trouble if YouTube thinks he is trying to fake hits.

2) COMMENT! COMMENT! COMMENT! - Get in a conversation with another fan in the comments. Post your thoughts. Even just post a simple "Great" or "Good"... it doesn't matter. JUST COMMENT!

3) Favorite - Favorite this video. Get your friends to favorite.

4) Share it! - Retweet Switchfoot's post. Retweet Corey's post. Tweet the video. Facebook the video. Myspace the video. E-mail the video. Get others to watch it.

The goal is to get as many honors as we can get for this video in the next 24 hours.
Again, this is shaping the life and success of "Mess of Me". We've got that power.
Ready. Set. GO!

Come on guys! I believe in you all. Make Switchfoot proud! ;)
