These Walls Can Talk

This Ain’t No Disco is one of the more interesting entries in the new in ’07 ad blog category. Here’s some copy from their About page:

It’s a well known fact that some agencies spend huge chunks of their hard earned money turning lifeless commercial spaces into bastions of creativity. These interiors provide insight as to the breadth and depth of their thinking and creative execution. They create spaces to envy. Places to shout about – loud.

No Disco showcases these creative places via agency-submitted photography, giving the shops a chance to show off a bit and letting potential clients and hires get a feel for these companies, prior to an actual visit.

Some other notables new on the ad blog scene in ’07 include Adverganza, the daily (ad) biz, It Grows on Trees, Bad Banana Blog, Annette Moser-Wellman, egglog and The Toad Stool.

The New Oxygen of the Internet

BusinessWeek has a new video program called Digital Dish. Fred Wilson, aka “A VC,” stopped by for a chat, which turned to soc nets and how some of them are bound to falter, if not disappear from the web altogether.

Here’s Wilson’s response to that charge…

“I think that you’re missing one thing, which is that the web itself is becoming social. And the large social networks—whether it be MySpace or Facebook, Bebo, Meebo, Friendster even—will have a second life as providers of this social graph, data, into web services that are built on top of them. Social networking is a piece of every website that’s out there. There will be social networking on BusinessWeek.com, provided through Facebook. Social networking is an infrastructure.”
