The Sweet Spot of Online Media Promotion

Looking on YouTube though I noticed that if you go into the community section, many of the featured Groups are advertisers. I wonder if they pay for that. Today they have Rocawear "I Will Not Lose" campaign. Vids with celebrities like Ciarra, Three Six Mafia, and other's "A" list Hip Hop / R&B artists talking about not losing and perservering without obstacles. Which is cool, do gooder advertising.

They also have Listerine FreshBurst man on the street interviews which are not very entertaining and unabashedly self-serving.

YouTube offers deep opportunities for testing advertising production. These days it seems like online is partnering more and more with direct street teams, a mesh of the international and local.

Media Snackers

The above video is an example of a tasty media snack done by the aptly named MediaSnackers , it illustrates the fragmentation and segmentation of how web friendly folk consume their entertainment and information.

The old model is that writers get pa

2 Twit or not 2 Twit

TWITTER Robert Scoble posted a picture of Twitter's door. Part of his day was spent visiting their offices. Biz sent out an email announcing new hires, the tracker function , and promoting the new PBS Show Wired Science who you can follow @ http://twitter.com/wiredscience . Here's a link to Anita Hamilton's Time article ' Why Everyone's Talking About Twitter ' (from March '06, after SXSW). I love Twitter, I'm addicted to it and I am completely voyeuristic when it comes to some people whom I've never met. It supplies a real time snapshot of developments in the Web 2.0, social media arena. It's just a place to post random thoughts that you think are worth sharing in less than 140 characters. The tired argument against Twitter is than everyone just posts "I'm eating a burrito". Which isn't true. Twitter is an easy way to discuss events, ideas, news stories, new photos. The problem is that unless you have a blog or a web si
