1. On Beet.TV, you get a better sense of the success of JibJab and how they hit it big through online video.
2. I enjoy reading The Simple Dollar, always good links and money advice, like “My 25 Favorite Personal Finance, Career and Personal Development Blogs.”
3. Church Marketing Sucks has some new info on the encouragement of church-goers tweeting sermons. Personally, I think the cellphones should be off in church. It irks me when I see – usually – a teenager texting in church while mom or dad sitting next to them allows it to happen. People in the pews and seats should be paying attention. Let a church staff member tweet the sermon as a community outreach effort, not the church-goers.
4. From Adweek, “General Mills Recruits Blog Backers.” Is it a sign of blogger relations to come?
