I don’t know who set the pricing range on Facebook’s Valentines Day Gift suggestions, but I’m fairly sure that most people would find a last minute $5 gift card for Starbucks to be more offensive than say… not getting them anything at all. Try my logic on for size. You know all those birthday wishes you [...]
Google Advertising Chromebooks on Chrome’s Most Visited Tab
February 14, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I just spotted this advert for Chromebooks on the “Most visited” tab of one of my Google Chrome installations (v 24.01312.57 m). The advert didn’t appear on the laptop I have with me (same version number) and disappears from the open tab after about 2 minutes.

February 8, 2013 By 17 Comments
Disclosure: Sponsored Post If you’re a geek like me, or simply not an American, then you probably didn’t watch the Super Bowl and didn’t get to see Paul Rudd and Seth Rogan team up to pitch ideas for advertising Samsung’s “Galaxy” line of products to Jon Fevreau (complete with another cameo that I won’t spoil for you).

Via Mashable comes word of how the Dr. Pepper advert below set off a debate about evolution that, as I write this, has garnered over 24,319 likes, 2314 shares and more than 3,300 comments. Why?

If theres one thing that no business can survive without, it’s customers and if I were a hosting company looking for some big name clients I’d be looking to get sites like TechCrunch on board. I can only guess at the amount of data used by a site like TechCrunch on a monthly basis. We [...]
That Crash You Hear Is The Death Of Social Networking
May 21, 2010 By 9 Comments
That crash you hear is the death of social networking. Those were the first words out of Sara’s mouth as I read aloud the highlights from the Wall Street Journals “revelations” that Facebook, MySpace, LiveJournal, Hi5, Xanga and Digg and other social networks were sending personally identifiable information, such as user names and user ID’s [...]
Facebook Ads And Suggestions That Aren't
September 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Our friend Heather (@Wigenout) pointed us to an image on Facebook yesterday for submission to Daily Shite and while we were checking it out I noticed the advert that you can see on the right hand side there.
