Disney has added togetherville to a portfolio that already includes BabyZone, FamilyFun and Kaboose.com as part of its strategy to dominate the market for websites targeting mothers and children.
I’m assuming that this is a strategy driven by Ad revenue and as such it makes sense, however, I’d venture that this may not be the quick win they’re looking for. Disney, as a child friendly brand has to be more valuable than than the transitory revenue from any number of sites and, by backing away from the traditional product offering they are effectively handing over an element of control to the advertisers.
If Disney becomes the de-facto route to advertise kid-centric products then they put themselves in the firing line for any backlash against kid-centric advertising. I’d argue that that kind of damage to the brand might be worth more than the ad revenue they might gain.

Some of the Comments on PHD’s video went completely OTT. There were however, alot of them. This is a word cloud made from all 570 (at the time of creation). I filtered out the word “ago” – it was distorting everything. Personally – I watched the first 20 seconds or so, then got bored and did something else.

Tell me two things that I know to be true and I’ll assume the third thing you say is true. I saw this (excellent) list from the Say crowd – and whilst I would normally dismiss lists like this, it’s actually really good.
Tech is the sector I know best so I delved into the tech list to compare it against experience, and it was great to see names of some people I’ve always rated without anything beyond gut instinct to back it up.
Overriding thought thrown up by the list – credibility / trust is personal, you have to put forward your truth, and allow people to compare it against their own.

Great piece by Paul Reynolds, the BBC’s outgoing world affairs correspondent, on the future of Journalism.
“the internet has become not only a resource for journalists, it is becoming part of the news itself” – Equally applicable to both business and society.

I forget sometimes that the reason I first went into PR was because I had the idea stuck in my head that I was a half decent writer. I didn’t know what PR was, but I didn’t have time to train as a journalist and I wanted to write so I became a PR. Recently, I’ve been thinking about where that idea came from, after all, for me to think I was decent, I must have had an idea as to what I constituted decent. Good writing doesn’t get enough recognition in PR and just like any skill, it is best learned through observing those who do it better than we do.
so… my homage to those who do it much, much better than me.
at 5… from the end of Madame Bovary (originally in french but the translation is equally brilliant)
"Everyone must have adored her, he thought. Every man who saw her must certainly have coveted her. This made her the lovelier in his mind; and he conceived a furious desire for her that never stopped; it fed the flames of his despair, and it grew stronger and stronger because now it could never be satisfied."
at 4… from the beginning of Ha’nacker Mill by Hilaire Belloc (another ethnically french writer but this time writing in english)
“Sally has gone who was so kindly, sally has gone from from ha’nackermill, and the briar grows ever since then so blindly, and ever since then the clapper is still, and the sweeps have fallen from ha’nacker mill.”
at 3… from Love in a Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez,
"He was still too young to know that the heart’s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good, and that thanks to this artifice we manage to endure the burden of the past."
at 2… the whole of Giles Coren’s rant about his missing “a” but in particular this paragraph
“Right,
Sorry to go on. Anger, real steaming fucking anger can make a man verbose.
All the best
Giles”
at 1… difficult one this one but I’m going with St John the divine and his revelations, it’s a bit funereal but it’s bloody brilliant.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”
I’d be interested to see what the rest of you think… jed?
