TV Shows Leveraging the Web to Extend Jokes
March 12th, 2009 No Comments
Fantastic article on Yahoo today about how TV shows (and How I met Your Mother in particular) are using quickly thrown-together websites and social media to carry over gags from the show to the real world:

‘Frequently Bought With’ Fail
March 10th, 2009 1 Comment
Meet the Pocket Obama, also referred to in its Amazon.com product description as “the little blue book that right-wing conservatives love to hate.’

March 5th, 2009 No Comments
Apparently 9/10ths of every dollar made by instant gratification-obsessed 20+ somethings isn’t enough – they want it all. Amazon.com is now getting into the used video games business.
