Super Bowl Commercials Where Awful

Almost every year we have had some amazing Super Bowl commercials, you could remember them for weeks and they had a great buzz factor. This year to my surprise they all sucked, except the Doritos one where the guy smashes his face into the car and the chick does the same on the floor. That part was funny and cute, but that’s about it.

I cannot believe with the power of social marketing online, not one advertiser harnessed the ability to get massive link baiting or drive any sort of wild residual traffic. By the time traditional media gets a clue, we will be on to a whole new concept.

Interesting response to the social advertising model

Over the past few weeks I have been talking to people about social advertising in this case the release of Agloco. This is a very strange phenomenon, its amazing how many people are excited about it. I have the distinct feeling that this will be another Web 2.0 hit.

Are we so money hungry that getting paid to have ads on your web browser can be such a hit? I could imagine IT guys running computer to computer installing the ads under their account and making out like bandits.
