Check out Mad Ave Blues, a song parody of “American Pie” that spoofs the demise of traditional media and upfronts… written by LMcDuff08 (via OnlineVideoWatch). It’s really well sung and written, and hits some key themes in funny ways. Even if it’s about 6 minutes longer than it needs to be… it only took a…
I wrote about some “poor man” tools for social-media monitoring recently, and here’s a nice list of free social-media monitoring tools.

Although I was recently a Product Director, most of my…
Man I love Failblog. It’s like “The Onion” only real. Last weekend while recovering from being out past my bedtime Friday night, I watched maybe 20 of them. Tonight I found this gem. A Bolivian television station shows images of what it believes to be the Air France crash, and are actually blurred photos from…
