Pilgrim’s Picks for January 14

Monday, January 14th, 2008 by Andy Beal

Today is a unique day. Do you know why? Simple, when else will there be a January 14th, 2008? See, unique isn’t it?

Here are today’s unique picks:

It seems we weren’t the only ones scratching our heads at Ask.com’s weird TV commercials. The New York Times reveals that as part of IAC’s Ask.com shake-up, it fired ad agency Crispin Porter.
Google disabled the AdSense account for IncrediMail and the company lost 33% of its stock value–yikes!
Video advertising company VideoEgg has announced partnerships with Metacafe, imeem and Buzznet.
MySpace is expected to make an announcement regarding “internet safety” this morning.

*celebratory dance*!!!! About time someone wised up to CP+B. I wonder, though, if they can still technically claim that they’ve never lost a client (according to Slate, they tend to fire clients before clients fire them).

But Andy . . . you did mean 2008, right?

LOL – ahem, your eyes must be deceiving you.

Besides, there won’t be another January 14th, 2007 either!
