Crazy props to  Wish TV Channel 8 for utilizing Twitter http://twitter.com/WISH_News. This micro-news format is absolutely brilliant - especially since Twitters 140 character limit doesn’t leave much room for bias or b.s. Instead we are presented with simple straight-to-the-point Indianapolis news, that is continually being updated. I never thought I would say it, but Thanks WISH-TV!

Brandon’s thoughts on MyFlyerCreator

MyFlyerCreator feels and looks like a Web 1.0 app, but while the product might be missing a few of the polished design features that a “consumer” driven product usually contains - this is hands down one of the best marketing tools that a Promotional Products business (that is driven by distributor sales) could employ.

I absolutely love that you build your entire flyer without ever having to hop around multiple pages, screens, wizards or popups. I give the development team - props on getting everything that needs to be there in one “simple” screen.

As I have a tendency to always gravitate towards consumer end of things - I personally think that It would be really interesting if MyFlyerCreator made a consumer affiliate program that would give profit driven consumers (not full distributors) the ability to create and easily embed the flyers on their blogs/websites and get a cut of the revenues that are generated.
