So it turns out I'm not on vacation anymore (long story), so I might as well do some Linkety-Link then:
- Podango is closing shop and everyone is running around with their heads cut off lamenting the death of Podcasting. I for one (is this embarrassing or not) don't even know who the hell Podango is (was), so take that. Perhaps I'll do a podcast about it...
- More Stupid Bowl drama - this type it's a small LA agency cramming 8 advertisers into 1 Stupid Bowl commercial and a legal/ego kerfuffle between NBC and them involving way too many lawyers. I love it...the Super Bowl is turning into QVC meets the 1,000,000 pixel project. This gives a new spin on 3.5 seconds of fame. LOL!!!
- I got no problem showcases these examples of video at its finest. None of them are traditional 30-second spots anyway, so why not send props the way of Famous (I spoke at their annual BBQ) and a bunch of other best of breed advertisers. The video below is the making of Eltrabel.
- I forget who, but someone sent me this video on my birthday, titled "The worst thing I ever saw on Public Access TV". There's a ringtone out there...but I don't believe there's one for the iPhone. if you have the iPhone version, PLEASE send it to me...and likewise if you know of a way to create a custom iPhone App that is Steve Jobs-proof.
- Some nice props sent my way, including: Andrea Vascellari reviews Join the Conversation, Jaffe Juice gets recognized as a TypePad featured blog and Jaffe Juice makes a top 10 list for 2009.
- Not sure I linked to this post from Verdino on Reach v Influence, but if so...here it is again.
- An interesting take on "Conversations aren't Markets" (as opposed to Markets are Conversations) from David Jones in response to Izea/Sears. Personally, I disagree. Strongly.
- Again, not sure if I shared this already and yes, I know I could have just checked, but still: New York Times article on Social Networking Fatigue contrasted with a WSJ article on the merits of Web 2.0
- So did the K-mart/Sears/Izea program work? Share of conversation data via Vitrue seems to suggest so...but isn't this tantamount to "buying" buzz? Perhaps, but isn't that what marketing or promotions does anyway (indirect/implicit or otherwise)?
