New Marketing Blog

Posted by: Allan Woodstrom on: July 20, 2008

I have decided to start a new marketing blog called Marketing Breakdown. The move comes at a time when I am trying to heighten my visibility and professionalism.

Helping me author articles on this new blog is Josh Neiman, a longtime friend and great internet marketing mind. Josh was a colleague of mine at a previous job with an start-up social network. Josh is currently working for a major online auction website based in Chicago, Ill.

I am not sure what I am going to do with this blog, but we’ll see.

Queen Bees Helps Mean Girls

Queen Bees from "The N"

Queen Bees from "The N"

A new television show on The N called Queen Bees is aimed at helping some of the most self-indulged, self-entitled divas change back into good girls.

The show premiered today – check out the first ten minutes. Their claims to fame are quite hilarious. I think we all know plenty of girls like this and its true we all hate these queen bees. Hopefully by placing the girls in the same place they’ll realize how much they dislike people who act just like themselves.

I think the favorite part of the introduction was the fact that most of these girls didn’t even know why they were on a show. They all just volunteered to be on a reality show because they wanted the attention.

The only thing I thought could have been improved was if the girls didn’t know right away that the goal was to be nice. We could have really seen their true colors and it could have had a great moments like the reality show Average Joe, where the guy had no idea that everyone on the show with him was actually an actor.

On a nerdy note – The video masher tool on their website is awesome. Users can mash together clips from the show, add music and graphics and enter it into a contest. It is a pretty sweet tool.

Excess iPod Inventory

A friend of mine works at Ubid.com and he alerted me that they just purchased over 1,000 of apple ipods from a partner who had excess inventory. The online auction website’s starting for price for the iPods is just $1. With this many iPods, uBid customers have a good chance to get a winning bid and more importantly a good chance to save some serious money.

I should mention that I was compensated to make this post. If any other bloggers are interested in making a little money to help support their blogging addition, they can check out this deal and others at social spark.

McCain’s Dislike for Bloggers Video

Posted by: Allan Woodstrom on: July 7, 2008

A day after explaining the difference between about bloggers and journalists, I thought that this viral video of John McCain speaking his his love for bloggers was quite timely.

I should also state that unlike other bloggers, I am trying to make McCain look bad. Democrats are just as frustrated with bloggers and the rumors they like to run with. Take for example, Barack Obama’s new site, FightTheSmears.com.
