Love us or hate us, Down Low and myself are moving over to the Mamabistro site as of right now. FIND US HERE. No wukkas. There are full RSS feeds and a comments system ready to roll. The comments require you to register, but you know, most of you are making up the contact info anyway, so just do it again, yeah?
We will both miss this lovely WordPress site. I, especially, as this is where I launched this Agency Spy madness. Back then I thought it would be just a side gig. Now, it’s a lifestyle. Thank heavens for Down Low. Two is better than one for sure.
Thank you readers for making this blog fantastic! We hope that we’ve managed to entertain you; inform you (at least once in awhile), make you chuckle, get you commenting or thinking about all the advertising stuff that gets swept under the carpet (rigged awards, overlooked genius’, agency machinations). We hope we’ve been fair, too. Layoffs we try to tackle sanely. We skip all those tips about adulterous CDs. Don’t send us that stuff. We’re not going to post it. We also apologize when necessary. You can find a few of those within our just under 1650 postings. Whew. That many? You can also find some great ideas, shout-outs, applause or observations and not just from us, but from you, the readers. Often, you guys know better or more than we do, which is awesome. This two way street rocks.
We’re gonna keep this shit going as long as you’ll have us. So, before I get all weepy let’s shut this soliloquy down with a quote from The Game and 50 : “And I ain’t going no where/ So you can get to know me.” Amen.

Just and FYI that searching your articles on mediabistro blows. Is there some un-user friendly method that we cannot see? help

noooooooooooo. how cum theres no comments posted on mediabistro and yu cant search right on it
April 22, 2008 at 7:34 pm
You were better - way better alone. Really.
April 22, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Okay. No one panic. There ARE comments open on the MB site. It’s the first day so folks have yet to get going.
The search is an issue, but if you recall, this blog didn’t even get a search until last month. Shameful, but true. It shall all be resolved.
Changes are tough, but I’m sure we will all adapt, right?
Give it a try? It’s kind of nice over there.

wordpress sites much cleaner look wout the clutter. will old comments from wordpress site transfer to mediab site too?
April 22, 2008 at 8:18 pm
The Mediabeast site gives me a headache.
April 23, 2008 at 3:01 am
Too bad. I for many am out on this. Posts were tanking anyhow. Bye Bye.
April 23, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Very dissapointing…I’m out also.. Mediabistro blows and will always blow. The fonts read like shit on Mediabistro and did I tell you they blow. What an utter downer.
April 23, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I think I’m out too. The posts on this site have been getting more and more like press releases, and media bistro is soooooo painful on the eyes to read…this is supposed to be about advertising and when I go over there I have no idea where to look first, it’s like visual vomit on the screen. There has to be a better font, layout, and way to integrate advertising than currently in use over there.

congrats
April 23, 2008 at 6:20 pm
I agree. Medabistro is painful to look at and you can count me out.
April 23, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Why haven’t posts and comments from WordPress transferred to the new site? Also, there’’s no way to search for postings about specific subjects. Also, what are RSS Feeds??
April 23, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Someone overestimated the amount of effort lazy ad hacks are willing to put forth to read this blog. Bye bye, Agency Spy.
April 24, 2008 at 2:45 pm
PissHamms,
You are exactly right. Silly, silly move. I love the line, “search is an issue, but this blog didn’t get search until last month.” lol. And this chick is in advertising? might be time for a career change sweetie

BBBBBbbbbbbbbbbbye!

your blog is over. nobody likes the mediabistro setup.
nobody’s commenting.
come back here. all will be forgiven. again!
you coulda been the perez hilton of advertising.
wait, that sounds not in the slightest bit aspirational. and even a bit depressing.
but i still urge you to. i’d like it!
April 28, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Nobody is commenting because it’s impossible to comment. It doesn’t work.
What the fascination with switching to mediabistro?
Is there some inherent advantage to that over wordpress? There better be a big advantage to you guys (money maybe?) because this second ill-advised move is gonna decimate your reader base.

wow. umber jamber is right. i went over to comment your nike spot post for the very first time. and was presented with weird questions about emailing something or some bullshit like that. and i had made the decision to fill in fake names and that.
i’m a bit intoxicated but i’m betting a lot of your would-be commenters are too.
mediabistro is clearly the IPG of blog management. this isn’t working and you look very clueless. fix it now or die.
and i know you’re reading this because i used to have a blog too.

Ahhh the Mediabistro site blows. Come back to your normal blog. Mediabistro is full of BS ads… Come back to the real world
May 8, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I think you guys just lost all of your reader base…
