Is Online-Video Advertising, PR or Marketing?
I’ve been using the term advertising when speaking about online-videos that promote a product. But is it that, or is it public relations (PR)? Is it marketing or something else? This MediaPost article by Alan Schulman of IMC2 (an interactive agency) reminded me that it’s about marketing not advertising. Says the creative director: Advertising will remain…
Why Tuesdays Suck for Online Video Junkies
Tuesdays suck. Why? It's the worst day to check videos. For reasons I can't quite explain, people do more on e-mail and the web on Tuesdays.

A haunted trailer in beautiful Topanga Canyon. Pastoral. I’ve lived in worse hellholes. Much worse. This is nothing next to The Sunset Pacific on east Hollywood Boulevard. Now THAT was scary.

What an entertaining, yet disturbing series. I fully believe, though, that marquisdejolie knows what he’s talking about, and probably has lived in places far worse!

Spoooooky.
This isn’t porn is it? You can see how there could be a porn site called HellHoles, right?
