Marketing Pilgrim

"Live from London, it’s Sat"….wait, that doesn’t quite work. Oh well, you get the idea.

While I’m busy hobnobbing (which means we dunk incredibly crumbly cookies in our cups of tea) with marketers at SES London, please enjoy these picks.

• Video search engine Blinkx has signed an advertising deal with Encyclopaedia Britannica.
• Newspond might make an interesting competitor to Techmeme. As downloadsquad reports, it tracks technology memes but also allows you to add your own comments.
• Facebook’s Chief Revenue Officer Own Van Natta has decided to leave the company. It seems he’s itching to be a CEO somewhere–though no news as to where–and Zuckerberg’s in his way at Facebook. (OK, so none of that was said by Van Natta, but that’s how it looks)
• Looking for SES London coverage? Li Evans has it all covered for you.

Now, go take a look at photos of Frederick Marckini’s keynote. Trendy haircut, no tie, no glasses–that’s what a few million can do for you.
