Happy Thanksgiving From ATD

Our friends at JibJab whipped up another odd video for us for the Thanksgiving holidays. BoomTown is thankful for our great All Things D staff, as well as our amazing readers. Also this year, for Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, without whom there would be no news. We’ll be publishing more lightly after tonight, but there will still be news over the holiday, so keep checking back for posts all weekend long.

A DonorsChoose High School Musical: A Very Awkward Dance for the Kids!

in News on October 7, 2008 at 7:38 am PT

It’s been just a week, and BoomTown is rocking out in the DonorsChoose.org’s Blogger Challenge 2008, with almost $4,000 raised! It started a week ago, with us featuring a video from my hell-froze-over dinner with Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang, who ably endured a meal with me in support of the many school children who benefit from the unique charity. Now, I manage to get Yang in a dress and dancing in “High School Musical” to raise even more money–yipes!–but it’s for the kids!

Here’s a video I did from a cool party I went to Tuesday night in Santa Monica, Calif., at the offices of ad network optimizer, Rubicon Project. Organized by Beta South, a networking organization for digital start-ups in the Los Angeles area, it’s an interesting contrast to the frenetic nature of comparable Silicon Valley parties. [...]

What can I say? I am a romantic at heart. Well, a different kind of romantic, as you will see from the latest Sendables video greeting card from the creative folks at JibJab for Valentine’s Day. Now, get off the Internet and go home and have a real life with your loved ones (I will still be here when you get back, of course).

A Web site called jackcards.com is trying to improve the way people send greeting cards, sending email reminders a month before important dates and shipping pre-stamped, pre-addressed cards to users.

Kara Visits JibJab

I have always been intrigued by what it takes to finally create hit content on the Web. So far, in truth, there has not been much to speak of. One of the only really interesting phenoms I can think of–setting aside the Mentos-and-Coke thing–are the cartoon satires of JibJab Media, such as “This Land.” It [...]

I Love L.A.

I will be traveling south to Los Angeles Sunday afternoon to do a few days reporting there. That will include visits to the offices of JibJab, Userplane, Disney’s Internet Group, as well as some catching up with newly minted investor Ross Levinsohn and Joost CEO Mike Volpi. We’ll be headed that way again a week [...]
