A couple of days ago Reddit user Jeff Ubelhor was talking to his friends about something or other and Space Jam, the movie starring Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan, came up (he swears they weren’t stoned). They checked on the website and realized that it hadn’t been touched since 1996. “From there I decided to post it on Reddit,” says Ubelhor “Because I thought it was hilarious, not only the design, but just how different Internet marketing was 14 years ago.”
The rest is Internet meme history. On December 29th, artist, professor and FAT Labs member Steve Lambert was given a link to the site by a student in his Hacking 101 class, posted it to the FAT Labs email list and tweeted it out as “The original Warner Brothers “Space Jam” movie website has been left untouched since 1996,“ his one time student, Buzzfeed founder and most viral human alive Jonah Peretti retweeted it, without giving him credit.
Both tweets were retweeted hundreds of times and the next thing you know Lambert was receiving emails like this:
From: “XXXXX”
Date: December 29, 2010 4:23:21 PM EST
To:Subject: CBC News: SpaceJam tweet
Hi Steve,
I’m a reporter/anchor with CBC TV news in Toronto. Your SpaceJam tweet was trending locally for a couple of hours in Toronto, and was spread widely through our office. We’re going to a bit about it on our local supperhour newscast tonight.
Just wondering, do I credit you (through one of your students) as the originator of the tweet? Any comments on how many retweets you’ve generated?
Thanks,
XXXXX
And it wasn’t only Canadian TV stations that showed an interest. Since the Reddit post the site has been picked up by Buzzfeed (obviously), Huffington Post, Boing Boing, Geekosystem, Yahoo Sports, Slashfilm and countless others. Sister blog Urlesque, taking the phenomenon as evidence of a resurgence in interest in old movie sites, just published a post called “Old Official Movie Sites – Titanic, Air Bud, Event Horizon and More.” Sigh.
The original Reddit thread has over 2015 votes and 686 comments, including such meta and self-aware gems as “I wonder if we’re DDOSing a weakling 1996 server in an abandoned building somewhere right now” and “Browsing this on my droid x while moving 70mph. 1996 just shit their pants.”
Since Peretti and Lambert’s tweets, the bit.ly link has received over 57K total clicks, over 40K in one day. And that is just clicks on the link Peretti tweeted out which are nowhere near the traffic the site probably got all in all. Peretti estimates that the Space Jam site could easily have garnered around 500K views since hitting the front page of Reddit shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning, and gleaning from my web editorial experience I’m pretty sure that number is in the right ballpark. I’ve reached out to Warner Bros for the exact traffic stats.
A lot changes in 14 years and some things don’t. While the site’s original designer Jen Braun is “still working on the web,” Assistant to the Designer Andrew Stachler is now VP of Interactive Marketing at Warner Bros.
In 2010, computers are faster, monitors are thinner, social networking has exploded and we are now browsing the web on our mobile phones, among other things. But we’re all still staring at this silly looking website from 1996.
You could just chalk up this week’s explosion of the Space Jam site to an extremely slow holiday news cycle, but it’s much more than that. We’re now in the very last hours of the most fast-paced decade ever technology-wise, and that is a little scary. In this era of Word Lens and Self-Driving Cars, perhaps some of us are more than a little nostalgic for simpler times when “having a website, no matter how bad, was an achievement in itself.”
Canadian Tech Conferences to Attend in 2011
We’ve rounded-up some Canadian tech-related conferences happening in 2011 that we thought you might like to attend.
“My first observation was the opportunity in Canada is far bigger than I expected — and I expected it to be huge. I think there’s just an enormous amount of upside in terms of businesses catching up with consumers, and unleashing a little more creativity on the web” – Google Canada, Country Director Chris O’Neill
Mesh Conference
When: May 25th – 26th 2011
Where: Toronto, Ontario
Mesh was founded by 5 esteemed individuals including ME Consulting’s Mark Evens and Mathew Ingram from GigaOm. This web conference is a venue for people to “connect, share and inspire” and its focus is on anything related to the web. Mesh looks at the way the web is “affecting the media, marketing, business and society as a whole”. As of today, Mesh has not announced its keynote speakers for this year but you can be sure it will be filled with workshops, panels and thought provoking conversations and presentations. We’ve heard nothing but good things about Mesh and it’ll likely be a worthwhile experience.
FITC Toronto 2011 – The Design & Technology Festival
When: May 2 – 4th 2011
Where: Toronto, Ontario
The FITC conference began as a Flash Festival, but over the last few years, it has evolved and branched out gradually adding more creative and technical presentations. FITC aims to “educate, challenge and inspire”and they’ve previously held 20 events over the last nine years in five countries. At the event, Flash, motion design, Flex and Air are the types of subjects you’ll learn about in the presentations. FITC prides itself on the quality of its handpicked speakers and additionally claims its “parties are legendary”. Sounds very intriguing.
CeC (Canada -e- connect)
When: February 2-4
Where: Toronto Ontario
The CeC conference was created by the Canadian tourism industry and mainly focuses on e-marketing within that industry. Any tourism business or organization can use this conference as a tool to learn more about using technology to market and gain sales. It also takes a look at opportunities, web trends and online successful campaigns. I’d go just for the speakers. They’ve grabbed three internet celebs to present this year; Amber Mac, Tara Hunt and Scott Stratten. If you’re in the tourism industry, I’d say this one is a must-go.
Confoo
When: March 9th-11th
Where: Montreal, Quebec
The Confoo conference held in Montreal, Quebec will be kicking off another coding conference in 2011. This conference won’t interest you unless you’re a coder interested on learning more about Java, .Net, PHP, Python and Ruby. But, if
you are a code-monkey you’ll likely have a lot to take away. Presenters will be walking the developers through programming solutions, security, content management systems, frameworks and databases. Confoo also promises a management portion that includes project management, referencing (SEO), web marketing analysis and social networking. Overall, this sounds like a great conference to attend if you rawk the code.
StartupCamp Montreal 7
When: January 20th, 2011
Where: Montreal, Quebec
Later this month, StartupCamp Montreal will be holding the seventh edition of its event for startup companies. If you’re involved in a startup, this conference will put you in contact with investors, fellow companies and can assist you in working out things like your business pitch. It will also feature speakers such as successful native-Canadian entrepeneur Perry Evans.
Mobile Camp Montreal
When: May 14th, 2011
Where: Montreal, Quebec
This year will be the first ever Mobile Camp Montreal and will focus on all things mobile. It’s still in its infancy although we spoke with the organizers this evening and they tell us they’re confident the event will be a success. “The idea is essentially to act as a central point for mobile enthusiasts, whether they’re into devices, apps, OS or marketing. We’ll have people come talk to us about which devices are the best, what to expect from 2011, where is mobile going, how to properly target the mobile market, how to advertise, how to track, etc etc” the event founder said via email. They’re looking for sponsorship and presenters if you’re inclined to help them pull it off.
This is not a complete list of Canadian conferences, just a few you should think about attending in this coming year. And if you know of a great tech conference in Canada, please give us a shout in the comments.

Internet Marketing is slowly becoming an integral part of any 21st Century business. Back in the 1990's many businesses could prosper without having any online presence. Times have certainly changed and the rapid rate of technology evolution means that a business of today can absolutely not afford to have an online presence.
A clear and well defined Internet Marketing Strategy is crucial for business success. The five tips covered below will help to improve your internet marketing and help drive your business forward online.
1.Embrace Social Media - It may seem that social media has no place within the world of business and is purely for keeping in contact with friends but this simply is not true. A business must not under-estimate the potential of sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin. Spark up conversations online and join the discussion, have an opinion and be interesting. Long gone are the days of the big businesses not communicating with their customers. Forums are also great places to spread the word about your services or products. Social Media is a must for Internet Marketing.
2.Get Blogging and Creating Copy - The key to a good blog is quality content. Write about your areas of expertise and always ensure you're using the most up to date information out there. An important internet marketing tip to remember is that the articles you write for your blog have great internet marketing potential. Post articles to online article submission sites, press-release sites, other peoples blogs, forums, twitter, facebook and anywhere else that would welcome a well written article. Make that article work for you and ensure all copies have a link back to your website.
3.The Infamous SEO - Search Engine Optimisation should definitely not to be over-looked. SEO forms the back-bone of all Internet Marketing. Ensure your website is clear, user friendly and is well optimised. Choose your Keywords well, carry out analysis with Google Adwords Keyword tool and generously spread them throughout all pages and articles. Review your Keyword throughout the year to ensure they are the best for your internet marketing campaign.
4.Main Website - Your website must give a great first impression because all your internet marketing efforts will lead back here. It is important to have a clear and memorable site. Ensure your website has a user friendly interface and will engage your audience. Take advantage of features such as videos, polls, learning resources, quiz's, social media button for users to share your information, comment areas and any other form of interactively which will benefit the user experience. All these features will improve your internet marketing influence.
5.Online Advertising -A major part of any marketing campaign comes down to building brand awareness. Very often a good method is through advertising. It is worthwhile looking at implementing banner ads. The click through rates are not the best but they will gain you more visibility. Think about the environment you place your adverts. If users like the environment they're are more likely to like the adverts. Facebook ads and the new promoted Tweets and both good examples of this.
To Improve your Internet Marketing, regularly evaluate your marketing campaign to allow for growth and change.
