			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night at Tinseltown, I saw <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VXa82AuwHU">a movie trailer with a marketing twist</a>.<br />
<code>
<p /></code><br />
It wasn&#8217;t the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z88x93SbGt8&#038;NR=1">doomsday music</a>. It wasn&#8217;t the monk or the mountain. It wasn&#8217;t CGI. It was the call to action: &#8220;Find Out the Truth. Google Search: 2012.&#8221;<br />
<code>
<p /></code><br />
Besides placing <em>truth</em> and <em>Google</em> in the same sentence, search is a way to use O.P.C. (other people&#8217;s content) and some of their own to find out more.<br />
<code>
<p /></code><br />
BTW: This is <em>really</em> a piggyback ad for <a href="http://wave.google.com/">Google Wave</a>. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VXa82AuwHU">View it</a>. See? </p>

Old-fogie bloggers still married to 1,000+ characters fly off the handle at smart, legit web marketers who use CrackBird to connect and prosper.<br />
<code>
<p /></code><br />
Maybe it&#8217;s raging hormones. Maybe it&#8217;s that time of the market. Maybe it&#8217;s <a href="http://www.copyblogger.com/blame-canada/#more-3567">Canada</a>. Whatever whippersnapper or other worldly evils caused this, everyone now shakes @replies at each other over the fate of CrackBird&#8217;s flock.<br />
<code>
<p /></code><br />
Here&#8217;s an idea. Want to reach anybody in 140 characters or less? Stop complaining. Nobody wants to hear it. Case in point: <a href="http://careysaysums.com/?p=209">my blog post</a>.<br />

New stats? 10 less visitors. </p>

 . . . It only took a few minutes to create. Now I&#8217;m trying to figure out which comic strip to draw up first. A &#8220;hang in there&#8221; comic to my <a href="http://vancouvercopywriters.ning.com/">copywriting pals</a>? A self-serving ditty to send to clients? Or something silly for my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vancouver-BC/Carey-Sessoms-Inc/60037493522?ref=ts">Facebook page</a>?<br />

How will you draw your <a href="http://pixton.com/for-fun">Pixton powered comic strip</a>?</p>
