REI Leverages Facebook Check-In / Places for Marketing:
I thought this was really clever, while in REI over the weekend I noticed this sign below. Basically REI thinks is worth it to pay a dollar to a charity if you broadcast to all of your your 200 or so friends (that are most likely local folks) that you are at REI.

Rumor: Apple to roll out “iAd” Mobile Ad Platform on April 7th – I am wondering if this will turn out to be the Google Adsense of mobile. At first I would think so, Apple has a huge App/iPhone market share advantage but I more strongly think they will miss the mark with making it truly lucrative for the long tail of advertisers and publishers like Google has. My bet is that Apple will want to lock down the look feel and function of the ads, and (as with the app approval process) require stringent approvals and guidelines for ads.
