I'm the director of marketing for the online video production and advertising company TurnHere. I'm a geek marketer, meaning I love anything at the intersection of technology and marketing and how the two work together to make connecting and building authentic, valuable relationships between companies and their customers possible.
On this blog I plan on highlighting some of the information and best practices that I find out on the Web towards that goal. The views and opinions expressed here are my own and not necessarily the opinions or strategies of TurnHere.
You can find me more in depth on my blog, follow me on Twitter, FriendFeed, LinkedIn or Facebook.

Conan has found a viral gem with this one. Shatner, who was magnificent in reading Sarah Palin's tweets keeps it in the family with this round and once again nails it. LM.AO.

Two guys who travel the US making free and awesome commercials for small businesses
via boingboing.net
This is a great video. It's more art than it is commercial. The concept behind the project is worth checking out as well: http://ilovelocalcommercials.com/
I believe that there is a brilliance in everyday things that we often miss simply because we're not looking for it or because it's not a part of our daily existence. This video captures part of that for me.
Whether this video sells more mobile homes is moot, really. It's more of a look at a slice of America not too many people on the Web see. You could argue that there's an element of exploitation here and stereotyping that isn't fair to the people who are just trying to make a living; but I think that is an over-sensitive viewpoint.
This "commercial" is more like a brief look into another part of our world and is powerfully and well done. What do you think?

What If Microsoft Had Invented Twitter?
From Geek & Poke. Brilliant. As Ben Huh from ICanHasCheezeburger says "people admire complexity but reward simplicity." Twitter figured it out. That's why they're winning right now.

Kid Cudi & Ratatat Bring "Pursuit Of Happiness"

Talk about redefining something. When Letterman says "rapper" to the first verse of this song my mind is completely reorganized around what "rap" means. Amazing art and exploration here. Makes me wonder how I can redefine what I'm doing into something amazing.
How about you?

I love this. Very funny. Although if MySpace is your distraction I suggest that you may have larger problems.
