Unless you are blind you can tell that this blog has gone through a big change today. Benkoo.com/ Koo’s Corner is now on the Bloguin platform opposed to its previous setup on WordPress. I am still getting unpacked in my new digs and there is still some work to be done, but overall everything is […]

More and more, I’ve found myself being a connoisseur of online advertising. This industry has yet to really settle into a groove or system of structure like print, radio, outdoor, and television. Below are some ad campaigns I came across that I was really impressed by. Let’s start with a very basic rich media display […]

Although I’ve been beaten to the punch and already posted an interview with Kyle on the site yesterday, it wouldn’t be right of me to not writeup the great experience I had at Blogs With Balls over the weekend. When I first heard about the conference in mid March, I envisioned this being a great […]

I am going to write up the wonderful experience I had at Blogs With Balls at some point tomorrow. I can tell you it was a tremendous event filled with more highlights then the end of the year Baseball Tonight Web Gem Award Show. At the heart of everything that was awesome at the event […]

Super busy, but I like to throw up content at least every other day. It’s not going to happen today, but thought I would post this awesome video below from Playing for Change. I’ve seen this before, but it was a blog by my friend Andrew Greenstein, CEO of Bojam, who jogged my memory of […]

Just caught wind from Pete Vlastelica at Yardbarker, that Yardbarker will be collaborating with Versus to produce Fanarchy a new Versus series that kicks off on June 7th.

I love blogging, but the current state of affairs keeps me from doing as much as I want. In addition to blogging here and on writing on Bucknuts, I am now doing a blog on Bloguin’s corporate home page. Here is the link to my initial effort (you get to see a funny College Humor […]

Imagine going to your website and finding that it was down. Not just your website, but your business’ website. What do you do? The hosting company’s website is actually down too. What’s going on? Is it your computer? Your Internet connection? Are other people’s sites down? Tell me what other service compiles information in real […]

I think many of us have seen the funny videos from Jib Jab, the original one being “This Land“, chronicling the 2004 presidential campaign. Last election Jib Jab scored again with “It’s Time for some Campaigning”, shown below. But of late, Jib Jab’s focus has been in their Starring You videos in which you insert […]

A couple days back I put up a promo video that I was fond of from Gawker Media which proclaims blogs as “the future”. However of late its been clear that if blogs really are the future, then unfortunately newspapers and magazines are “the past.” With dozens of high profile magazine closing down in this […]

In the past I have tipped my hat to Gawker media for their ability to sell blogs to premium advertisers. I think in general Gawker does an amazing job at not only understanding content, but also advertisers needs as they seem to have a high fill rate of premium campaigns and a lot of repeat […]

I know the guys at Bleacher Report pretty well and was honored that they spilled the beans a little early on the big announcement of their CBS NFL correspondent initiative. Below is a screenshot of the landing page for the new program which officially launches tomorrow. From the official release: “CBSSports.com and Bleacher Report will […]

I recently polled the great bloggers of Bloguin about their receptiveness to having some content sponsored. The example I gave was what if Yahoo Fantasy Sports sponsored a blog (meaning they would have their advertising or branding in or around the post) on the worst fantasy pick you have ever made. Yahoo wouldn’t have to […]

Lots of interesting goings ons in the world of online sports last couple of days. I think the most intriguing news of the day is that Chris Mottram of The Sporting Blog, will be heading to SB Nation as Senior Editor. “My main focus will be working on the homepage as the editor of SBnation.com. […]
