07.19.07: Social networking for ad geeks
Social networking has taken off far beyond sites like Facebook and MySpace. From animal-lovers, to business people, to gear-heads, today there's a social networking site for every walk of life. You can read an expansive list of social networking sites on wikipedia.

Today I discovered two social networking sites for folks in the ad industry: AdGabber and AdHoles. AdGabber is a product of Adrants and claims to be a social network for like-minded individuals in advertising, marketing and media. It has about 600 members. Founded in 2004, AdHoles has over 5,000 members and claims to offer what's great about blogs and what's addictive about social networks to allow people to schmooze without expensive restaurant tabs.

Are they good networking resources for advertising geeks? I'm still updating my profiles on each and learning how they work. I'll post an update when I have more experience with them.

07.10.07: Simpsons movie creates buzz with Kwik-E-Marts
Kwik-E-Mart storefrontWe love "The Simpsons Movie " advertising and cross promotion strategy. Accoring to an Associated Press article , "7-Eleven turned a dozen stores into Kwik-E-Marts, the fictional convenience stores of "The Simpsons" fame, in the latest example of marketers making life imitate art. Those stores and most of the 6,000-plus other 7-Elevens in North America will sell items that until now existed only on television: Buzz Cola, KrustyO's cereal and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees."

Even more, we love that one of the new Kwik-E-Marts is just 5 minutes away from Cactus . We had to see it for ourselves, and taste test some frogurt, so we took a field trip last Friday.
