Starbucks is the king of all social media. This news is all over Twitter like a cup of Clover® on a crisp white shirt. Why do I care? @Starbucks won’t respond to my Tweets. I’m a card-carrying regular. I dig rich pungent Arabian coffee. My blood is likely made of milk, sugar and cocoa, but there’s something about my Starbucks card questions that just doesn’t jive with their “social” networkers.

I’m just not supposed to be a part of the Starbucks klatch. Hi, @BlenzCoffee.

Check out this funny Father’s Day advert for Durex condoms . . .


To all those who use our competitor's product: Happy Father's Day from Durex.

I just started a social network at Ning.com.

 

Tough thing is it’s for the most reclusive bunch from the creative department: copywriters. 

 

We usually pick apart each others work. We quietly snarl at another’s prized taglines. It’s a tough crowd of prose bleeders and font wetters. Someone must try to bring Vancouver’s elite copywriting community together. Somehow. Someway. 

 

If you write copy in Vancouver, go to VancouverCopywriters.Ning.com. Ningle with us. 

 

You just might find a new drinking buddy.

There’s something wrong online. 

 

Click here. Then come back to read this . . . 

 

Website Flash intros are dead. They take too much time to download. 

 

Sadly, advertising agencies and the creative consortium still embrace Flash. 

 

Things move on the screen. Music plays. Our eyes dart about the page.

 

Now, go back to see what I’m talking about. 

 

Hopefully it’s loaded by now.
