John Bradbury has just emailed me to let me know that he’s just seen (and posted about) an advertisement for Gawker Media blog Gizmodo on MTV.
Like John – I’ve not heard of a blog advertising itself on mainstream media like this. It’s quite the promotional campaign they’ve got going there over at Gawker.
Update: John has corrected his mistake – the ad was not for Gizmodo but for Gizmondo.

Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

I guess that’s a good campaign, but to be honest, even if i do become THAT big…i won’t advertise this way….

Hi there,
While this would be cool, unfortunately it is not true. I’m told the ad was for Gizmondo, a gaming device.
thanks

Okay don’t I feel the complete boob. Joel Johnson editor of Gizmodo just contacted me to clarify the situation, and it seems I was mistaken. The advert I actually saw was for Gizmondo a new hand held games console.
After admitting I watched ‘The Rise of Britney’ too :oops:
(Sorry Darren)
