Very funny animated video…

Are you in San Diego? If so read on…

Every month we hold a Refresh meetup where a bunch of us web nerds get together so we can talk shop and drink coffee. Sometimes we have formal presentations but usually we just get together and discuss a central theme for the month. Tomorrow is that time of the month again so if you’re in San Diego or the surrounding area come on out.

This month we’ll be talking about social media, both from a users and marketers perspective. The meeting location is at Milano Coffee Co. See you there.

But the Bugatti is pretty damn amazing, 250 mph in a road car. Wow!

Last week there was a big uproar when the National Pork Board threatened Jennifer Laycock with a cease & desist letter for the use of “The Other White Milk” on one of her shirts. They felt that she was infringing on their trademark for “The Other White Meat”. Hundreds of people blogged about the story and several others sent angry letters to the National Pork Board letting them know how ridiculous they were acting.

Just a week later I am happy to see that the National Pork Board has not only apologized to Jennifer but their employees are also conducting a fund raiser on behalf of Mother’s Milk Bank. Kudos to the NPB for stepping up the plate, admitting their mistake, and taking it one step further by helping a related non-profit organization. Kudos to those who supported Jennifer as well. Bacon for breakfast sounds good tomorrow.

In addition to our roles with ACS, Neil and I have been hired as evangelists for Text Link Ads (TLA). This is something we are very excited about and it was a natural fit for us seeing that we really like the company and the people behind it.

We are still very committed & focused on building ACS to be a great company and will continue to blog on our company blog, Pronet Advertising. Some of our duties for TLA will include…

1. Blogging on TLA’s Link Building Blog.
2. Participating in discussions around the web that involve TLA.
3. Handing out swag at conferences and speaking on TLA’s behalf, we will also be speaking on ACS’ behalf too. We will also help with the TLA booth at various shows.
4. Putting on special events and parties for TLA.

TLA is an awesome company that provides a great service for both advertisers and publishers.
