Remember Kristen Sloan from the Apple commercial? Sloan was featured in one of the early iPhone commercials in which she relays her experiences updating her blog with the iPhone.

I just found it interesting that she was recently profiled in the New York Observer.

Her blog saw an immediate burst in traffic from 2,000 hits a day up to 48,000 on the first day of the ad. Traffic has since settled down to 15,000 hits/day. Sloan does not reveal how she was chosen for the ad.

“How did Apple find her? Next question. “I can’t even tell my friends,” she whispered. (If only Mr. Jobs could lock up the phone itself so easily!) But who cares? Before the commercial, in which Ms. Sloan’s beauty is only slightly muted by a shapeless brown dress, The Winger had been getting about 2,000 hits a day; the day the ad first aired, the site got 48,000 hits. (It has now leveled off at a respectable 15,000.) YouTube commenters speculate eagerly if ungrammatically about her flexibility. The Web site kickedinthenuts.com recently offered to pay her cash money (she didn’t want to say how much) to appear in a video. Ms. Sloan declined; she had loftier aspirations.”
