I don’t know about you, but my daily news feed is pretty much full of Chrome right now. I feel almost sad writing this post because it’s as though I’ve become part of the collective by writing a post simply with the word Chrome in it.
As sad as that may be, it led to an interesting conclusion. And that is, the smaller blogs that I’ve subscribed too didn’t mention the word Chrome at all. In fact they did exactly the opposite! And you know what? It was a breath of fresh air and made me think about values.
Adding Value
How does one add value to their blog? Well the first thing that sprung to mind was not to regurgitate the same tosh the top blogs do. This is something I’ve tried to do since the beginning, only downside is my posting schedule is not as frequent as I would like.
Secondly, I realised in order to achieve this value I needed to do a lot more research, and that means adding a lot more blogs into my RSS Rolodex. So lets start by sharing with you some of the more interesting topics I found around the web this week.
- Book Trailers
We all know about movie trailers, but how about trailers for books? That’s exactly what COS Productions have done over at You Tube. I think the idea is the rather cool, some of the trailers are kinda tacky but it’s an interesting concept.
- The LFL
More commonly known as the Lingerie Football League. I think this is out right hilarious, is there anything America wouldn’t do?
- Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld in New Microsoft Ad Campaign
To commission a $300 Million Dollar advertising campaign and not even mention your company’s name ‘once’ seems rather odd. Perhaps Bill assumed everyone knows who he is, other than that the Ad was pretty cool.
Update
Actually Seinfeld mentions Microsoft once, now that’s value for money.
