Mike Nolet of AppNexus started a 2-part webinar on scaling their advertising business and I am glad I followed the first part (and I will definitely be there for the 2nd part!) as some interesting things came out of that.

Quality Job Targeting on LinkedIn
Today seems to be my “funny things I see on the web” day — I just logged into LinkedIn to be targeted in the job section with an interesting one: a job offer from Vibrant Media (who I worked for till a few years ago): If that job is based on my previous jobs […]
Quality Advertising!!! :)
I just pissed myself laughing seeing this and had to share it — a true gem from the guys at Funny Ads:
Can’t Have Your Cake and Eat It!
