Your mission: visit King of Cubicles. Play nice with balding man sporting poor choice of tie and dated Mac

– McCain puts Obama on the same “soar high, fall hard” platform as Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Though it’s likely they had some, Lisbon agency Torke could have used a bit more help identifying the “soul” of FOX’s Friday Night Lights, which debuted July 20.

All is not lost for Duchovney, though. He’s starring in Showtime’s Californication and, yes, he’s doing product endorsements. He’s fronting a new campaign from Toth Brand Imaging for Johnston & Murphy.

(TrendHunter.com) Teen starlet Ali Lohan ‘accidentally’ met with a porn producer, and became the #1 search of the day.  I suppose the news is making buzz because she’s only 14 and one of his movies was called ‘Breast…

The Ad Contrarian, a.k.a. Bob Hoffman, ceo of Hoffman/Lewis, is fishing for links. But not in the typical groveling manner.

Can you imagine that not one of these creepy low-life bloggers would include your and my absolute favorite blog on their blog roll?

And do you know who these bloggers are? We’re talking here about people who can’t spell; who can’t produce a simple declarative sentence; who wear bicycle shorts; who think “douchenozzle” is funny; who write about Search Engine Optimization; who use words like “engagement” and “monetize”; who have cell phone holsters; who attend “off-sites” and “branding summits”; who sit around hotel bars in leather pants; who drink vitamin water and do pilates; who don’t have the balls to use their real names; whose only writing skill is to cut and paste other peoples’ mind-numbing jargon; who wear their hats sideways;

Everybody’s doing Cuil better than Cuil.

I’m launching Fuil! Pronounce it “fool.” You know why. Look, I’m fed up that everyone else is in line for big bucks with their sucky search applications. Give me some money. What? How does my search engine perform? Well, it’s actually the first offline search engine, so you can’t test it from where you are. Which makes it about as useful as Cuil. Can I have some money now? As an extra incentive, I’ll throw in my oops-not-work-friendly site Tuil. It’s pretty wild stuff, trust me. So, where’s my money?!
