AdBumble

At the risk of being taken down by a posse of sloshed media buyers next time I'm in New York...

What is it with AdBUMB lately? No newsletters forever, then I start getting one every other day.

In the past two weeks, AdBUMB has:

  • Brained me with unseemly newsletter frequency (dare we call it spam)
  • Written to me personally to demand that I stop running a Google AdWords ad on a certain keyphrase
  • Written aggressive articles with titles like "read the contract, stupid"
  • Included huge graphical ads within their newsletters for outfits that didn't exist six weeks ago
  • Run job ads for the kinds of interactive media buying positions that didn't exist six months ago
  • Written to me to ask if I wanted to run an ad in their publication, a day after the threatening email about my AdWords campaign
Hey, enough already. You guys ever heard of RSS? If I like your stuff, I'll consider subscribing.

I think Cory's right... the 90's are back!
