How to do it right.
On the flip side of ineffective online advertising is good advertising. A lot of ads are not clear about their objectives and the potential rewards provided by a click. Not so with this fine advertisment, let’s go through it blow by blow. With fancy, eye catching graphics and large, simple phrases; this ad is targeted and straightforward.
“1000’s of cougar singles in your...
It's not cool, It's *wiki* cool.
Let’s be honest. Not too many of us have clicked on the tiny little ad underneath the Facebook Application links on the left side of the page. But really, it’s not our fault. As this classic demonstrates, Facebook is making a killing off idiots. The idiots are not you or I, its those individuals who decided to promote their “Wiki Cool” on Facebook. These people are...

CNN.shirt
A tiny T-shirt icon is now appearing on CNN.com that allows headlines to be printed on Men’s and Women’s tees (CNN.shirt). Of course not all headlines qualify since some headlines just arn’t funny on a crisp $19.99 w/shipping t-shirt. Case in point: 20 bodies found floating near Bahamas (CNN.com). Not so nice in black, grey or white.
So, suck it NYT, Washington Post, Chicago...

How to prevent sadness
For the past decade, Gran Turismo has helped me miss deadlines, ignore nice girls and taunt carpal tunnel syndrome. With the franchise finally reaching Playstation 3, its’ gee-whiz graphics and outstanding car physics, I have no plans to go on a vacation to Cancun this summer. The realism in the videogame has helped Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, BMW (and others) promote new cars and...
Justify My Thug
Gawker sums it up as best one could.
Tony the Tiger + Urban Street Ware = $$$. To be honest, it’s not a terrible idea. It’s just that Tony the Tiger seems to be trying too hard while Froot Loops looks like it just might sell.

Blockbuster wants to marry Circuit City for $1B
This is batshit crazy. I’m not really the only one thinking this but its worth saying again, this is batshit crazy. Here’s why:
Blockbuster is in a dying business.
Circuit City is in a cut-throat business where it can’t turn a profit.
Combining these two businesses does not equate with profit.
What makes the whole proposal boneheaded is that Blockbuster management...

Side note, this Hulu thing just may work out.
The Art of Seduction
When seduction is at play, one hopes that the game ultimately ends with a breathtaking moment. It’s a look, a bit of a tease and a magnum of come hither.
After an entire year of teasing, months of batting around the bush about sizes and other bits, I’m totally seduced. I’ve finally decided which Playstation 3 will be worthy of my Ikea furniture and Visa credit card.

I read it for you so you didn't have to: Digg vs....
A few days ago profilesblog.com wrote a short blog post about 5 Myspace Morons. Cheeky, whole-hearted, nim-wits on MySpace. Like the guy with the massive guns to the right.
Digg picked up the story and within 24 hours, it was moved up to the front page on 1700+ Diggs. On the comments for the Digg post, Fredmv identified the morons to their respective MySpace pages.
Less than a day after that,...
N+1 Magazine returns with another interview from Anonymous Hedge Fund Man. He talks about the economy, hedge funds, Bear Sterns and bathing in sub-prime in real non-finance English.
If you really look at what the Treasury and/or the Fed was doing, they know that they have to protect the financial system from grinding to a halt, but they don’t want to create a moral hazard as a result of people...

If you or someone you know is expecting a child and want to capture the details of your experience, a major television production company (associated with a daytime talk show and website) wants to hear your story and help you capture the memories of your pregnancy.
