With the release of Episode 35 of RockStartup (see post below) I've decided to add a little twist. Within the episode Andrew, the Network Ninja, says a particular word a number of times. What word you ask? Well that word would be "AWESOME!" So, heres the twist. While watching the episode tally up the number of times Andrew says "awesome" (or a variation of awesome) and post a comment in this post containing that number. In addition to the number of "awesomes" I want you to leave some feedback of this episode, any of the other episodes or RockStartup as a whole. It can be positive, negative or whatever, things you like, things you don't like, what you would like to see more of/less of, or something you haven't seen before. Also, include your favorite episode of RockStartup is.
The first Five(5) people (not limited to posties) who respond with the correct number of "awesomes" and the most helpful feedback (judged by me) will receive a prize. What kind of prize you ask? Well we will just have to see. But one thing is for sure, this prize is going to be AWESOME!
So let's recap:
1. Watch Episode 35 of RockStartup
2. Count the number of "AWESOMES!"
3. Leave comment on this post with:
- The number of "Awesomes!"
- Feedback on RockStartup
- Favorite Episode of RockStartup (feel free to go back and watch past episodes)
4. Win an AWESOME prize!

Number of Awesomes: 14
Number of "that's cool": 2
Number of "Most Fun": 1
Number "The best": 1
So that totals to 18. Now its up to you to include whatever words you want, I played safe ;)
My Feedback on RockStartup(Yeah!):
I think its one of the most innovative idea to showcase a company's birth to becoming the most discussed company on the Internet. I like the way the episodes are made and it really makes me feel proud of being a PPP Postie. The best part is that you all people out there display yourselves as happy and frolic colleagues in the episodes who are not frustrated and fed up with you works. I know you all have so much of hectic works to do in a single day but then, you all never show that tension in RockStartup Episodes. Hats off to you guys and how can we forget the backbone guys for RockStartup - Travis and Scott - you all do an AWESOME job! PPP Rocks and so do I(nah...ya ya why not :P)! Well actually you guys make me ROCK!
Favourite Episode:
EPISODE 27 - OUCH!
Ouch! that really hurts! :O

I think I heard 15 awesomes but they started blurring into one long awesomeness during the parade....
I like the idea behind Rockstartup as it's always great to see behind the scenes of something, especially a new and involving company (Appealing to my business side, it's nice to see some of the mistakes made to learn from!).
It's always good to get a different opinion on being called the most evil man in the room!
You seem to get a good balance of company orientated stuff and other things happening in the office out of interest.
On the downside, it always seems to take a while for me to be able to download the episodes - any chance of a faster server?
Favourite episode has to be 28 - the executive decisions.

Okay I counted the awesomes.
Andrew says "Awesome" 12 times
says "Awesomeness" 1 time
Trevor says "Awesome" 1 time
Random dude on street
says "Awesome" 1 time
Random dude at con - subtitle "awesome" - 1 time
This was a good episode because it showed a couple of guys from PayPerPost going out and having a good time. It looked like fun. Andrew is a wild man.
My favorite episode so far.

I am pretty dang` sure I heard 15 awesomes there. And so far Episode 35 of RockStartup is my favorite because it's my first time to see the hair·i·est wonder woman ever! it just made my gloomy day! it's hilarious but yet informative that wonderwoma cannot be perfect all the time "TRAnsform!".
I always follows all your Rockstarup guys! I thougth, it's a perfect tool to goof-off in a good ways, learn and experience new things and you made learning more fun for us ! YOu all ROCK and more power PPP.

I counted 12 Awesomes from Andrew, 1 Awesome from Trevor, 1 Awesome from a Stranger, and 1 Awesomeness from the person whose name I didn't catch.
As far as Rockstartup feedback? I've really enjoyed watching it. I like that the episodes are now longer... You feel like you can into a little more of the meat of what's going on before it's over. Before we'd get a glimpse at things and then it was gone.
I tend to have fights with the player you're using now, but I strongly suspect this is operator error, and as I can view these episodes from work, I won't complain too much.
I loved the nerd hierarchy in this episode too... Pete going "o.... k...." about the whole DragonCon costume thing. LOL Though Andrew as WonderwoMAN?? Burned on my retinas.

Oh I forgot to post my favorite episode. I think it's OUCH... is that the one where Ted gets bit by the supposedly non-biting fish? Cause I laughed my butt off on that one.
Or Julie's wedding.
And no, I've never been able to pick one favorite of anything.

cool = 2
pretty cool = 1
awesome = 14
awesomeness = 1
that's great = 1
that's amazing = 1
all good = 1
best thing ever = 1
Ha. This was a great episode. I have know about things like this, but really haven't ever witnessed them. Not sure if I'll ever look at wonder woman the same! LOL
Favorite one, definitely this one. It's pretty neat to see someone go out of their norm and become the talk of the day. :)

It was a little tricky at first and I had to go back and replay it, but I'm pretty sure he said Awesome 12 times.
I think that Rockstartup is a great feature that you guys are sharing with us. It helps us get to know who the people are behind the scenes that help and make this all possible. It's good to know that there are other crazy people in this world!
My favorite episode was RockStartup Episode 32 - Club Ted. You guys hold a great company retreat and I wish my company had one. The prank in the beginning was a classic!
Keep up the AWESOME work! Thanks!

I think I heard awesome 13 times.
As for the RockStartUp shows, I think they're great. I'm not a postie, but I am an advertiser, and it's a great way to see the "behind-the-scenes" goings-on of the company. I've been part of a start-up before, and these shows allow me to live vicariously through the PPP team all the fun a start-up can be. While this episode was hilarious, I think the best ones are the ones that take place inside the office - seeing the struggles (and victories) dealing specifically with running and growing PPP. Those episodes have more of a "reality TV show" feel, while the funny ones (like Club Ted and this one) are more of a "crazy YouTube style." They each have their place, but I think the office episodes more meet the perceived objectives of the show - showing PPP behind the scenes, as well as creating a good buzz about PPP.
Keep up the good work!

12 awesomes
I love the little things that popped up on the bottom telling us the location. It made it feel like something on VH1 :) Keep putting what is being said on the bottom. Sometimes it is really hard to hear what they are saying.
Episode I like the best --- the outtakes one :)

Okay, I think I counted 15 total. I watched it a couple of times and 15 seems to be the most common number.
I think the whole idea of RockStartup is great!! It's great to see you guys and it feels like we get to know you a little. Definitely makes us feel more connected to PPP. I realize these have to be kept on the short side, but I would love to see more detail. It's getting better, and I realize things need to be kept short and sweet due to rampant ADD:)
Hmmmm, my favorite episode...... I think that would be Ouch!, yeah, it's hard to pick a favorite but I'll go with that one.
