Free Yogato!!!
There are business cards in Mr. Yogato’s store (pictured above) that describe a promotion to win free Yogato.
Here is how it works:
There are 3 ways to win free Yogato. Try one, two, or all three ways.
Way 1:
Once you join the Green Buzz Agency Facebook fan page, find the discussions tab. There is a discussion called “Free Yogato.” Reply to the discussion, and you are now entered to win free Yogato. Once enough people reply to the discussion we will start randomly drawing for weekly winners. The more people that reply, the more Yogato will be given out.
Way 2:
Same setup as Way 1, except the discussion is in the Green Buzz Agency LinkedIn group. Once you are in the GBA LinkedIn group, reply to the discussion titled “Free Yogato.”
Way 3:
Follow @greenbuzzagency on Twitter.
Tweet “Check out Green Buzz Agency for Video Production, Social Media Consulting, Photography, and Graphic Design:http://bit.ly/1RvLV9” Random weekly winners will be selected.
Once the free Yogato promotion starts, we will draw weekly winners until the week of January 24th – 30th 2010. However, it can be altered at any time at the discretion of Green Buzz Agency. Please check back to this blog for updates on the status. All winners of the promotion will be contacted, as well as announced via the Green Buzz Agency Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn pages.
There is an additional promotion running between Green Buzz Agency and Mr. Yogato’s, but you’ll have find it on the business cards in the Mr. Yogato’s store at 1515 17th Street NW – Washington, DC. The business cards are at the back of the store, near the board games.
It seems that today the wired world is finally forming some opinions on Google’s new Labs creation Fast Flip, released on Monday.
If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out at the Labs site or read Google’s explanation of their new product.
ChannelWeb looks at Fast Flip as a new business model for a struggling publishing industry: “Fast Flip and its advertising revenue sharing could be the start of a blueprint for publishers.”
Examiner.com’s Michael McConnel mentions the similarity to Google Reader: “As I use Google Reader for most of my browsing, it would be a great upgrade to Reader’s interface.”
Perhaps Technologizer’s Henry McCracken puts it best with his “it’s cool but weird” analysis. His main complaints are the “kinda cumbersome” previews, some aspects that “break some conventions of the web”, “un-Google-esque” banner ads and, well, the fact that it just “doesn’t always work”.
Whether Fast Flip misses or meets the online world’s expectations, publishers and readers can be confident in Google to continue its ambitious re-modeling of online content. Adding Fast Flip to Reader and Google News provides a full range of news-consuming avenues for online readers. Expect the Reader faithful to reject Fast Flip in favor of their meticulously controlled newsfeeds while also pining for the snazzy UI offered by Fast Flip. Google News users will shirk at the limited sources and unconventional page design while falling for the improved looks. The final resting place that Fast Flip will take if it ever gets out of its Labs incubator could be skewed toward either one of those Google services… or be an even greater departure.
See what Twitterers like @GreenBuzzAgency are saying about Google Fast Flip!

It’s Labor Day and the nation’s workers are busy in their backyards working on their pig roasts, racks of ribs and barbecued chickens. Some, though, might be slaving over something called a Toynbee Tile.
Toynbee Tiles, essentially slabs of plastic carved with messages and embedded in paved roads, began popping up in the 1980s. They all espoused a paranoid conspiracy theory in a sort of code that no one has since unraveled despite many theories. The tiles are most likely produced by copycats of the original artist, and take a certain amount of ingenuity and devotion to produce–considering that the end product may never be discovered.
So my question of the week is: Are Toynbee Tiles viral messaging and how would they stack up to a modern online viral campaign? Answering this is difficult, but potentially valuable for marketing campaigns. After all, the tiles can’t cost more than $20 per tile in materials, while the buzz created is priceless. As real-world guerilla marketing is supplanted by online campaigns, Toynbee Tiles, or something similar, could garner massive exposure.
