Thanks for passing the punk question along.

On an unrelated note, I somehow doubt the Walman campaign would be quite as popular as the Simpsonize Me movement. One of those campaigns blends beloved pop culture with fantasized self-image; the other is a cool tech trick meant to sell a product.

Cheers.

Riksta – you’re welcome, I’m glad we’re able to share the excitement of that new technology and marketing campaign.

Stephen – Thanks for coming by. I think that as you said it’s important to know your customer, and I believe that goes for the Facebook advertising as well. It will be interesting to see how well (or not well) the FB advertising is received and whether or not it provides value for users and consumers.

Larissa: thanks for your pick-up — sometimes it’s the quick thought that resonates the best, isn’t it? Seth’s point is valid, of course, but for those of us who need to live inside of an 18-48 month product development cycle (ie, anything that isn’t web-based), “creating something (new and) remarkable” isn’t always feasible. Especially when someone’s breathing down your neck to do something this fiscal quarter.

I also like Glenn’s post at Crimson on Facebook. Maybe putting the “social” back in social media is the answer? Who knows.

Thanks!
