How SlateV Ran an Ad on Fox News for as little as $100

SlateV recently ran a little test to see just how easily they could get their made-up website on national TV.  They managed to run ads on a late-night rerun of the Glenn Beck Show (with the help of Google TV) for only $100.

They made this video documenting their fascinating experiment.

Facebook, give our client their page back!

My employer, Fat Atom Internet Marketing, recent built a very successful Facebook fan page (that I ran).  Facebook removed without telling us, so we made a video.  Here's the quote from our website.
_________________________________________________________________________________

So here is what happened. We, Fat Atom Internet Marketing (fatatom.com), did a Facebook fan page for one of our clients. The site took off like a rocket, hit almost 50,000 fans, and then we wake up one day to find Facebook had taken the page down. They sent no warning, had already validated our page, and offered no explanation later. We sent support requests to Facebook for almost 2 weeks, everyday, afterward, and they have yet to get back with us. Thousands of dollars were spent on this campaign, and now they are all gone.

We think it is very irresponsible of Facebook, who is still young in the professional world, to treat paying customers like this. Facebook is a great place to grow your business online, but behavior like this is downright terrifying. Business need to have confidence that they are safe investing money in Facebook.

We created this video to express our frustration and confusion.
If you have had this happen to you, please leave a comment and help us spread this video around the web!
