Brave new world of social media marketing

2009.09.30

Every day I’m reminded that we’re still figuring out this whole social media thing. I just ran the app on Facebook that calculates statistics about your friends (single vs. taken, Democrat vs. Republican), and while I was waiting, they showed me this ad. I had to watch a countdown from 15 seconds before it went away.

We’ve got a lot to do.

::UPDATE:: I think I need to clarify my point here. There is so much more that could be done with this ad, with this space, to make it more interesting, useful and engaging, let alone more attractive.

Mobil 1 ad from Facebook

  • Ya know...I don't mind the new TV model. 1 commercial for 20 seconds per 10 minutes of TV...but I agree that FB is walking a fine line to overkill. So many sites just chomping at the bit to take over.
