Marketing Pilgrim

We’re just a few days away from the leap-year edition of Pilgrim’s Picks–that’s a once in every four years occasion.

These picks are pretty lame in comparison.

• Fox Interactive is rumored to be negotiating to switch ad partnerships from Google to Microsoft. Meanwhile, Google is rumored to be glad to wash their hands of the existing deal.
• There’s a new blog directory launching called Blogged. It gives Marketing Pilgrim a 9.4 rating, so that automatically gets it a mention here!
• Mixx must be doing something right. The Digg competitor has just raised another $2 million in funding.
• The New York Times Co has launched ShifD, which lets you transfer web content from your computer to your cell phone.
• Online ad networks Adconion and Glam Media have raised over $80 million a piece in funding.
• As if you didn’t have enough Twitter updates to read, your house plants might soon send Tweets to let you know they need watering!
• UK ad agency Nonsense puts together some cool online campaigns. Their latest is to support Action Aid–funny stuff!
