Guess Rubel's Exit Date and Win Big
I happen to eavesdrop in on a conversation on the shop floor down at the "image factory" last week. About six of our young chicks were sitting around the lunch table cackling. The topic of course was clients... and boys. The chit chat touched on "March Madness" and oddly turned to Stevel Rubel of Micropersuasion fame. Well, turns out there is a hot office pool presently and it's not the Final Four; it's how long Rubel will last at Edelman. How totally catty... but how absolutely fun! Apparently, it's not limited to our office. It's ended up inboxes throughout our network globally.
Here are the particulars: The pool obviously is by date. The calendar starts May 27th, accounting for a standard 90-day grace period. It's $25 a square.

I'm reading this and hoping (almost beyond all hope) that it's a spoof. I'm actually fearful of looking into it further to find out if this press release is real. Please, for [...]

Everyone always warns about the predators on MySpace, but are they ever talking about the predatory marketers there?

I predict the next wave in Web 2.0 Social Networking will be Antisocial Networking.

If it looks like Dog Doo, feels like Dog Doo, smells like Dog Doo...then it's Authentic! I'm Sold.
