Blog marketing

A piece on the relationship between blogs and marketing. Seriously, I'm only linking to this because snakesonablog.com is discussed heavily in the article.

and lo, the crazy monk network of blogs begins. at first with only a few members (snakesonablog, nachoworld, where's your blog) it soon grew to take over the gawker empire.

hmm, i gotta get in while the gettin's good.

I still lobby for everyone to form one mega-blog which everyone could post to and could be filtered by poster. This would save time in blog checking and would save email conversations from getting overwhelming... everything could be done on the web.

I could give you all crazymonk.org accounts, but I doubt you want them.

i wouldn't mind, but you'd probably want to have ability to mark threads private, etc. and I'm guessing you wouldn't want to bother with too much complexity.

also, it's doubtful the asap would have found the best grassroots movie advertising blog on the web if it hadn't had such a snappy name/domain name (after all, where's the original SOAB guy now?). so there's something to be said for different domains.

i guess you could subdomain crazymonk. yaknow, snakesonablog.crazymonk.org. but that's kinda lame too.

you know, i don't really like gawker or pajama blogs or any blogging conglomerates. blogrolls sort of do the trick.

dude, no way. my blog is the anti-blog. i don't want no part of your blog-ass bloggy shit.
holla!

I would love to post on your blog, though my stuff would be about tasty food and funny videos and why Family Guy is funny, but the laziest easiest writing on TV.

I am glad things are working out for your blog "Snakes". Since the movie is going to be huge (honestly, is their one person on this blog that is not going to see that amazing film. It's snakes on a mother!@#ing plane), what are you going to do for the sequels (either Snakes on a Plane II or Insert-scary-animal-here on a Plane)?

I'd like to post on your blog as well, obviously not Snakes stuff, just normal everyday interesting stuff. You know, like if I had found the Hitler snowman.

oh, this is fun:

jen, you may know snakes on a blog as "nightmare before christmas." (no, not jon may. he was the pope.)

samuel l. jackson was on all things considered on npr today. and you better believe he mentioned SOAP.

I just listened to it on their webpage (webpages that rebroadcast segments from radio shows are a good). I like how happy he seems to be about the movie.

i'm not saying the movie is self-aware and that makes it good. it's not a movie saying "hey, look, i'm pretentious." it's a movie with pretentious characters -- and we see them through the eyes of the main character, who thinks they're boring and pretentious, but wants to understand them. his mind wanders while he remembers their conversations in his dreams; hence much of the animation and artistry. just because crazymonk missed the point doesn't mean it's a pretentious movie.

it's like when chicks think david mamet is misogynistic because his characters are.
