monster gettin’ web 2.0 on your hiney
Monster Worldwide sent out the following e-mail this week to clients. Although it’s a tad unclear from the message, the goal is to direct recipients to a survey asking for help in naming a new video service for employers. Yeah, I love the first line too: “Monster is always developing new product ideas.” OK, ideas are [...]

25. July 2007
I’m sure the smartypants at Facebook are well aware of this problem, but in order for their new marketplace to succeed - that is, be a reputable place for reputable employers to post jobs - they’re going to have to solve the infamous spam riddle: Sure, these kinds of crappy postings are prevalent from Craig to [...]

I received the following e-mail last night, compliments of my eBay account: EBay’s site says over 100 million people use it.

23. July 2007
Unbelievable … Monster is currently running one of their infamous interstitial ads, the ones in between job search and job listings, that actually asks for a social security number. The pages are even branded Monster, although the ad is for a company called Great Student Loan Payoff. Boo! Two thumbs way down. If you use Monster [...]

23. July 2007
The Simpsons Movie is an ongoing work of viral marketing savvy that continues to amaze me. The movie would no doubt be a huge hit just blocking-and-tackling, but the extra effort should pay off big time. The latest effort I’ve seen is the ability to “Simpsonize” oneself via the movie’s MySpace page, also being touted on [...]
