Wenda Harris Millard–calling in to BoomTown HQ from a cruise either on the way to or the way from Slovenia, since she said she was not exactly sure, given that it was the middle of the night there–wanted to make one thing clear: She is still working for her other dozens of clients at Media Link as its president, but also has a big new gig helping MySpace get its advertising sales house in order, especially related to strategy and execution. “I guess it’s a matter of semantics, but I will be leading the engagement,” said Millard. “But we have a whole team here too, and I am also still working for all our great clients.” Okay, people?!? Which is, in Slovenian, in case anyone asks there, Wenda: Vidirati narod?

Winklevoss-tastic!

BoomTown simply cannot resist the irresistible urge to compare the gripping quest for gold by Olympic rowers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss with their more lackluster effort to grab a piece of Facebook via a lawsuit. In an unlikely upset in the semifinal of the men’s pairs, the hunky brothers placed second and will go on to the finals on Saturday. Apparently, the Winklevosses actually have some magical come-from-behind in them.
