I received an email yesterday from a communication agency (well written, well personalized, no problem at all with the contents) offering me to be among the select few blogs to publish viral marketing videos, starting with a shoe brand (since the message was nice and polite, I might as well protect their identity). Oddly, they totally ignore the hint in my reply: “true, if I announced that […] offered me shoes so I blogged about them, it’s certainly generate some buzz.
” Yet I refrained from being too subtle, didn’t I?
I guess they got the target wrong (well, actually, that’s for sure — who’d respond to a sneaker ad on garoo.net?), because I’m a little bit past being so flattered to be contacted, or so happy to be the first to publish a new video, that I’d be giving them advertising space for free. This is not a Skyblog.
What would it have cost them? Thirty euros? And I just happen to need a new pair of shoes, my Reeboks died two weeks ago.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.garoo.net to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Tes Reebok ont rendu l'ame... Ne serait ce pas eux justement qui t'aurais contactés ? :D
