Tidbits and More
• Om Malik says that Live is a better brand than MSN. I agree with him. Live is going to be powerful and gooble up the mainstream audience like you wouldn’t believe.
• Logic+Emotion asks if the Agency video was for Agency.com or Subway. It was obviously for Agency.com but that isn’t a bad thing. While the video is cheesy people are still talking and thinking about them.
• Fred Wilson’s VC cliche of the week is don’t count your chickens before they hatch. One of the first leasons I learned in life but man it’s a hard one to follow sometimes.
• USAToday has a feature on Danny Sullivan, the unofficial ambassador of search marketing. Congrats to Danny and all his success.
• Bottlz 2.0. See what happens when a drink company hires a web designer.
• Adrants points us to SuperPitch, a game where you become an ad agency trying to win new business.
Update: Coudal Partners launches their response to the Agency.com video.

A lot of people talked about the Pontiac Aztec when it first hit the road. That was kind of cheesy too (and bold and different). But every time I see one, I still get a bad feeling about it.
David - Haha, good point
Ya, I agree. While this video might get them a few new accounts I think it will do more harm in the long run.
