POPSAn NFL Christmas Story... Great stuff. Btw, took my kids to see The Blind Side...a little long on Hollywood camp but a nice, entertaining, inspiring story that everyone can relate to...

POPS"Stun people into loyalty" by...who else? Godin of course. I hope he won't take this the wrong way, but Seth to me has become the Jerry Seinfeld of marketing. What I mean is that he is a master of observation and, like Seinfeld, has a way of seeing the obvious in ways most people don't realize until he exposes you to it. They both tap into human behavior at such a common yet deep seeded level that you end up laughing at yourself (Seinfeld) or bonking yourself on the head and saying "of course, why didn't I think of that" (Godin). Seth's gift however is even more special: he paints such a visual picture for you that before he's finished, you can see the outcome - which makes you feel like you're the one who figured it all out. He's that good.

POPSDespite infamous botch, Tony Romo volunteers for holding duty Full disclosure: I am a life-long Giants fan, and one who hates the Cowboys as much as any Boston Red Sox fan can hate the Yanks. This guy can play on my team anytime. Tony Romo may just have figured out how to win the big one...and my respect. Well played, Mr. Romo...well played.

POPSShepard Fairey's Holiday Card No overt Obama or Obey reference here but chock full of awesomeness. You've gotta hand it to this guy, he is definitely leaving a clear, original, and identifiable mark on pop culture. A look back on the 2000s pop art/culture will most definitely show Fairey's work to have made its presence and influence felt.

POPSTwitter Community does it again: a workaround to share conversations with EVERYONE. I'm continually amazed at the resourcefulness of the Twitter community. They are determined to use the service the way they want, not just the way the tweet gods say they should. This is one of the more recent, always clever examples of the community taking matters into their own hands. This idea fills a need as the blogger notes: "it’s equally important to engage with new connections from by a trusted personal network of people handpicked by you."

POPS@andrew_chen on Blogging Fatigue I've always loved AC's blog and can totally understand his reasons for slowing down a bit. Its hard for many people to summon up great ideas or concepts for a post at will - this one jumped out at me and its a big reason why I love Amplify. You can see his other thoughts at the source...

POPSAre Digital agencies ready to lead? You bet they are. Good article at the source... Love this quote: "Most interactive agencies subscribe to the notion that you never know where the big idea or concept will come from. Sometimes the big idea can come from the exploration of a new technology or method that enhances consumer connection."

POPSHow long will @Amazon ride shotgun in @Zappos' car? I hope its for a long time. I've been a customer (and advocate) of Zappos from their early days. I often referred to them as the "Apple" of online shoes when telling my friends about the service. That is to say, like Apple, Zappos was much more than just a product or service company for me - it was a brand that I wanted to be associated with. Naturally, I've been very interested in how this acquisition plays out. Bezos has often lauded the culture and acumen of Zappos but as this article points out, how much longer will Amazon allow Zappos to continue using ChoiceStream (product recommendations) as well as PayPal when both are owned by Amazon rival eBay...
