well, this changes everything

6 Comments

Goo­gle now has a blog search.
[BONUS LINK:] Quite pos­sibly the most biza­rre blog I have ever seen in my life. Like I’ve said before, watching Madi­son Ave­nue trying to get on the Clue­train is a bit like watching a middle-age guy trying to pick up a college girl in a bar. [Link via Jeff.]

    The flash app that mea­su­res how long you can arbi­tra­rily click & hold down your mouse but­ton on a pack of juicy fruit while sta­ring at the page seems like the work of a ima­gi­na­tive, but mis­gui­ded mar­ke­ting wiz.

    Truth be told, the thing that offends me most isn’t the flash inter­face and the crappy ‘blog’ (yeah, wha­te­ver) but the shit com­mer­cial con­cept the agency mana­ged to sell to the client. How many fuc­king times have I seen the ‘two peo­ple wan­ting the same pro­duct and amu­sing con­flict ensues’ idea? Too many times.
    As an extra bonus, here we have two hila­rious pro­ta­go­nists, the geeky tee­nage boy and the middle aged black woman. Christ almighty. Some­body fire the crea­tive team.

    Re: Goo­gle, I don’t think they’ve got much pixie dust left. A “Blog Search” for “Mar­ke­ting” gave me a first page with neither Hugh nor Seth.
    Also, given how hard a time Goo­gle has dea­ling with link spam, I’d be (hap­pily) sur­pri­sed if their blog­search ends up that use­ful. Which may be beside the point, since most peo­ple will use it any­way.
    A bit out of date but hope­fully still amu­sing, rela­ted, gra­tui­tous self-link: http://biztos.com/frost/etc/adsense-loop.html
    And Juicy Fruit Pla­net is *scary* — “Who’s Gotta have LONGER LASTING? sweet?” WTF?

    Uh-oh, the Juicy Fruit Gum Hol­ding Coun­ter goes up (pre­su­mably) to 100 days! Extra-scary…

    OH MY GOSH — I’ve finally expe­rien­ced that LSD flash­back they kept pro­mi­sing in 1967. This JOOCY-FROOT thing is frea­kin’ hila­rious. PERHAPS they inten­tio­nally launched the king of all cor­po­rate blogs just to gene­rate atten­tion. This COULD be “going to edge” as Godin desc­ri­bes in Free Prize.

    please leave us middle-aged guys out of your ‘die, madi­son ave­nue, die’ kick. ;-)
    but that still doesn’t mean i can pick up a college chick at a bar.
