Well it looks like the caveman has signed a deal with ABC making my attempt to copy and plagiarize GIECO’s advertising campaign moot.  I wanted so badly to have the caveman tapping away at his keyboard, making fun of Robert Scoble, linkbaiting, Digging, and perhaps even signing up to work for clamshells at PayPerPost!  How cool would it have been if he would have been like Loren Feldman on 1938 media talking about the latest in tech gadgets and testing blog platforms, all while rubbing elbows with the likes of Om Malik, and Dave Winer.  He would have been perfect making a behind the scenes deal with Jason Calacanis starting the Caveman Blogging Network!  His videodcast would be picked up by John Furrier and he would be interviewing 40 second spots (rather than a Scoble 40 minute taping) of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, and the latest in celebrity gossip like Perez Hilton.  He could write a great book like Jeremy Wright or Shel Israel or Debbie Weil.  He would be a sought after keynote at all the cool conferences like Gnomedex, Blog Business Summit, and of course Blog World Expo.  He would be sought after for his political opinions, like Instapundit, Little Green Footballs and Daily Kos.

Then I thought I might just get a variation of it and have it be "Blogging:  So easy a lawyer can do it."  Of course then I would probably be sued by litigious Mike Arrington, or I might offend for the second time people like Brian Clark.  I was soon talked out of that as a result of not wanting to offend Cavemen everywhere.

Since it seems that I am losing out here on the real wave of  "The Caveman", I have decided to do it myself and start my own campaign. Since I kind of took a beating yesterday after taking on Adobe, and since Dave Taylor believes my Bloggers For Hire operation to be similar to second class, I’m beginning the new campaign here:

"Blogging, so easy  Jim Turner can do it." 

Of course, you have my permission to actually let everyone know just how easy blogging is since nobody would possibly believe that I could actually do it successfully.  TGIF!!

Niall Cook has a great post today showing some hard numbers and how the power of blogs can be a great tool for launching products.

These are the types of cases and studies that we want to be presented on the Blogonomics Business Blogging Cruise!  It’s great to talk about how blogs can help your company in theory.  It is quite another to show actual hard numbers of a campaign that the client can sink their teeth into.

Great job Niall!

I am sitting here lamenting the fact that I want to be in Palo Alto right now.  The New Communications Forum has been kicked off by Rebecca Blood and I would love to be there to absorb the information that will surely be discussed.  I was unable to procure arrangements for the trip until it was too late.  I am a procrastinator of the first order, and this was the cause of missing out on all the fun.  I always intended to go, but for one reason or another, I always had an excuse to put it off.  Now I sit here angry about missing out on the forum.

Don’t let procrastination make you miss out on all the fun at the Blogonomics Blog Cruise 2006.  Don’t be fooled into thinking that the cruise is not for another 7 months.  Early bird pricing for the event ends March 15, 2006.  That is in the next two weeks!  Don’t be sitting at home wondering what all the bloggers are doing in the Caribbean, be one of the people celebrating the sunshine and excellent blog conference.
