Well, I meant to have a “real” post here today, but seem to have run out of both time and steam. So, like Nate earlier, I’ll throw it to another blogger to do the heavy lifting.
Via Twitter (I may have arrived at the Twitter party dead last–well, except for the ever-stubborn Nate–but I am already [...]

(Via mashable) Clearspring, the company helping people “build, deploy, and track widgets” has picked up an additional $10 million. If you’re interested in widgets, check out their blog.

As a follow up to my neverending posts on my deep love for “The Simpsons Movie” marketing campaign, go and check out Chris’ rundown at Movie Marketing Madness.
Chris’ regular posts on the marketing campaigns of some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters are incredibly in-depth, I can’t imagine the time he devotes to each one.

Okay, so a few hours after posting about Respectance, I checked out their blog to see the following:
The day the servers died, and we launched So, a site dedicated to the memories of the non-living, talk about servers being dead. Now, you’d think that a company like respectance would be really careful about wording. Since [...]

I swear, this is true.
There’s a new social network out there, and it’s for, well, those who are no longer with us. Seriously. I’m not kidding. It’s called respectance. From the site:

Oh, Lindsay.
You are so in need of a big sister. I feel like Drew Barrymore should take you into a back room at Hyde one night and just smack you around for a while.
