google pizza
One of the crazier PR stunts I’ve seen for a while: Cambrian House, an open-source software company, turn up at Google unannounced and feed them 1000 complimentary pizzas .
I thought the tone of the YouTube video was a wee bit too “Dotcom-MTV” for my tastes, but hey, I’m probably not the target market.
That being said, kudos to them for having a go. This is classic “Ooze” in action [“Ooze” i.e. OoS, short for “Objects of Sociability], which as I’ve said before, I believe is the future of marketing.
[Future of marketing:] Where “the message” is replaced by “the social gesture” etc.
[PS: I’m actively looking for “Marketing 2.0″ stories at the moment, so please feel free to send me a link.]

A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.
Hiya Hugh,
Big thx for blogging our video on your website. Next time we’ll be sure to factor in the sous chefs.
