Outing The Ad Business – Holy Fark! Part 3

by · January 31, 2008

Episode 3 of our Holy Fark! series with Fark.com founder and author Drew Curtis turns the focus on traditional media. Curtis says newspapers and television news aren’t in trouble, as many industry watchers say, they’re just used to larger profits. He then takes us through an explanation of why the Internet is outing the advertising model of legacy media as a rip-off and asserts that social media is “the way to go” in terms of reaching audiences.

Holy Fark! Part 2: Drew Curtis On Fark, The Book

by · January 30, 2008

In the second of our sit down interviews with Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com and author of “It’s Not News, It’s Fark,” we learn about media patterns, that Drew’s mom uses IM and is terrified of shingles, Groundhog Day is dumb and proof that the media only cares about New York City lies in the spring time lawn mower stories. Oh, and he tosses out a few swear words, so don’t watch this around the kids.

It’s fair to note, I asked Drew one question and got a  7:25 show out of it.

Holy Fark! Drew Curtis On Fark, Digg, Alexa And More

by · January 28, 2008

Drew Curtis certainly holds nothing back. In this, the first of a multi-part series on Social Media Explorer TV, the Fark.com founder and grand poobah waxes poetic on Fark, Digg, Alexa and more. A word of warning: The interview includes colorful language, so don’t jack up the volume at work or in front of the kids.
