If you’re a fan of Arianna Huffington, you should check out her new Air America radio show with Chris Watson called “7 Days in America”. You can listen online (for free!) at airamerica.com/7daysinamerica!

It has 38 views so far. They also left a similar comment on a photo of Ana Marie Cox (viewed 79 times). So - smart marketing? Ridiculous amount of effort for the minuscule potential payoff? Weirdly invasive and spammy? Just plain sad?

Means you’re a celebrity, a brand, marketable. Flattery, albeit tackily packaged.

It shouldn’t surprise to see this “viral” (I prefer “guerilla”) sales approach because it’s cheap, requires minimal effort, and hey, you’re over 100 views!! Those eyes have dollars!! [HAH.]

Meanwhile, who do I have to blow to draw viral blood for It’s Blitz! ??
