So Facebook is getting a movie, is there any reason that Twitter shouldn’t have one too?

Drake Gets a D+

The image below can be found on Drake University’s website. I’m embarrassed :(

In what world is this a good way to market an academic institution?

Update: Listen to Drake University’s Tom Delahunt talk about the marketing campaign on Iowa Public Radio

Also, read the email that was sent to Drake faculty and students to explain the Drake Advantage campaign

Should a good marketing campaign need an explanation? Does Delahunt’s explanation sell you on the concept?

Lauren + JP – The Coolest Wedding Video Ever

Karri Wells — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:21:18 +0000

This is by far one of the coolest wedding videos I’ve ever seen. Set to Passion Pit‘s Sleepyhead, it’s more like a music video than your standard wedding recap reel. What a fun way to remember your big day.

Did you have a videographer at your wedding? What did you do with the footage?

‘The Social Network’ Looks Lame

Here’s the thing – I WANT to like this movie. A movie about the back story of Facebook sounds pretty interesting. However, am I the only one who thinks this trailer looks like a bad parody of what the movie is supposed to be about?

Are you planning on seeing it?

Go Daddy? No Daddy.

Way to go CBS! Thank you for banning this year’s Go Daddy ad. Every year I watch the Superbowl, not for the actual football, but for the commercials. Each year I gag on whatever delicious Superbowl treat I am eating when the Go Daddy commercial comes on. At least they weren’t trying to show us Danica Patrick’s beaver this time.

Alright Go Daddy. That’s enough.

New Bud Light Commercial Will Make You LOL

Coke Machine Dispenses Smiles

I would like to have one of these installed in our break room immediately. Just another reason that Coke is superior to Pepsi.

What would you have been most excited to receive from this machine? (Keep it clean, let’s not talk about balls.)

City Yanks Facebook Page

Waukee Councilman Isaiah McGee recently created a Facebook fan page for the city of Waukee. His goal was to allow the residents an open forum to discuss the city.

On March 9th the city council voted to trademark the city’s name and logo to prevent unauthorized uses. This apparently included the fan page created McGee, and the council requested that Facebook take it down.
