WOWWW !! - now this is how you do viral marketing."Ah yes, the old pull-the-tablecloth-off-the-table-without-sending-dishes-flying routine".I wish they mentioned the name of the agency that came up with this marketing concept, this is brilliant. Expect it to be forwarded by every gear head this side of Pluto to at least 10 of their friends.Viral marketing concepts like this are marketing dollars to the power of 1 gadrillion.I'm calling it now, someone is winning an award for this ad...

I love this blog post http://blog.asmartbear.com/your-idea-sucks-now-go-do-it-anyway.html "My idea isn't good enough yet" explained a friend who is thinking of starting his own company.

Lions for Lambs
From Dean Collins, 4 days ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I just watched Lions for Lambs, I'm still not sure how I feel about the story, the movie and the acting are great, there were a few week scenes, but people should definitely watch it.I'm surprised I had never heard about it before', being made in 2007 you think i would have seen it during the cinema release due to it's controversial nature but I honestly haven't heard of it before I just happened to stumble across it after it had started 5 mins earlier.Also ? don't do it before you see the...

From Dean Collins, 1 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I noticed this morning in www.ShellyPalmerMedia.comCablevision is finally slated to roll out Remote Storage DVR service. The cable provider will make the set-top-box free DVR available in April, with plans to make it available to all customers by the end of 2010. The move comes after years of regulatory scrutiny and means less entertainment center clutter for consumers.Very cool to see this finally being launched, i'm surprised that no one else has rushed to roll something similar for other...
