The Swing Marketing Advertised


January 9, 2007

If you haven’t seen this already, check out this hilarious take from Project Cartoon. Jaded or frighteningly realistic? You be the judge.

This site is also a fun example of letting users under the hood to play around. If you click on the ‘Create‘ link you can modify the ‘toon and save it to a unique url that you can give to your friends who in turn will send it to their friends and … I guess it’s also an example of viral marketing. The real kicker? The cartoon’s content itself isn’t original to the site. It’s a pretty prevalent cartoon. What’s original here (beyond the funky Simpsons-esque design) is that it’s user based and can truly grow like an open source project. The cartoonist is even adding new cells from users to subsequent versions.
